Pray For Me

Come, take from me, the things that I could never

seem to find the way to push from my mouth.

The doubt is inescapable and all around.

In a liar’s throne I spoke a specious truth.

Upon my face I wore a mask crafted for you.

Bricks and mortar built these walls

so I could keep this hidden until now.

The ground trembles underneath my feet

before it all comes crashing down.

I’m a liar and a fool.

In my deceit I built a prison around you.

Pray for me.

You took from me, the things that I could never

seem to find the way to make myself confess.

Believe me when I say I tried my hardest.
