Long ago in what seems like a dream
I read of a girl kissed out of sleep
Then I learned that the tale was pretend
Princes and happy ends are all fantasies

It’s routine to conceal everything
That we don’t want anybody to see
With a lie-adorned mask on display
So impure are the words that we choose to say

At first, I thought you and I
Seemed to be so very alike
But we can’t understand each other
I don’t know why

Within the world we had polluted with abundant lies
I never realized that your smile had been pain in disguise
With every stupid thing I said, I opened up a wound
What I’d done in the end was hurt you as you kept hiding the truth

Demons’ words always aim to deceive
Words of angels always can be believed
But the trouble with humans is we’re
Caught between speaking falsely and honestly

I want to know of things that
Would be better off left unsaid
Insecure, I still feel the need to
Hear them spoken

Whenever something comes along to injure us inside
Since we’re afraid to show our pain, we bandage it up with lies
But every cut we’ve gained has left its scar upon our hearts
All that we have achieved is nothing, and we’ve been fools from the start
Who is it you see in your eyes when you are looking at me?

Enduring every type of obstacle, you're always kind
The laughter in your voice and a smile in your eyes
But at long last, I've found the truth you've been covering
How did I never see past your mask this whole time?

So let me hear all of the reasons for the tears you cry
Instead of trying to act tough, won’t you allow me inside?
Within the world that we’ve polluted with abundant lies
Know that I trust in you
For your sake, I’ll be true
So let’s go, you and I
To destroy the world we’ve built from our lies
