I look out from the skyline
To find a cure; to soothe.
But how can I find peace
By staring into a Devil that I call truth?
These lies that have made me
So crystal, so finite,
Keep pulling my strings
And I know I'll never set them right.
It's so hard to settle down
As I look into Her eyes.
They're a sea to breed comfort
But they're sheets to hold my guise.
I can mold with the masses
And I can match every choir.
But buried in Her skin,
She knows that I'm a liar.
It's so hard to forget a past
Painted crimson on the sand.
It's so hard to hold a smile
When you know you've marred the land.
So I can't join the joy-
It's a parade for my pain.
So I'll watch from Her shadow
And to Her God I will pray:
"Let Her see reason.
Just let Her be alright.
Lend Her Your Truth,
As I lay in Her my Lies."

So, insomnia attacked again last night... I went for my general midnight walk in the riverbed and got to thinking. This is what came out. It also happened to come out as less of a "poem" and more as a slow paced rap.
Although, I can't really say it's a "lie" since I never really said any of what this is about.
On a somewhat unrelated note: I called it "Skylines" because it's an important part of the poem/rap/BLEARGH. Yeah, someone saw me write this down in my notebook today and asked why that was, since the word is only used once. Well, let's just keep it at, "The word's important."
