Alternate Sanity

   Alternate Sanity 

You don't really wanna see

 what it is I hide inside 

I'd invite you in and just pretend 

 that I'm doing fine

I'd let you see everything 

 that I want to be

The truth is I can't be anything 

 that I want you to see

You see it's just me hidden 

 away in my fantasy 

A world of creation created 

 by a mind of insanity 

Don't get carried away 

 thinking I'm admitting you're sane

Your world is as fake as mine

 I'm just admitting it's not the same

This game that we all play

 it's a shame of all the things we say

All these alternate truths we

 offer honestly and paying the price 

The die we roll is the lies we've told

 with it's blank face leaving our soul cold

It's okay you see cause as long as

 we're here we don't have to feel anything 

Like words we speak just sounding 

 good they don't even have a meaning

Let me let you go now you've seen

 a piece of mind inside of mine

And in time you'll get tired of chasing 

 false vanities inside your alternate sanity.
