Candy Coated.

candy coated secrets upon candy coated lies
something so sweet covering something so bitter inside.
silent screams echo in the darkness as the rain falls
lightning and thunder shatter making them feel so small

you smile that empathetic smiles as if you really knew
as if everyone was just on stage waiting for a cue
and every word and every line were just part of a horrid script
but what if there was a mistake that fell from these tainted lips?
when the world starts spinning and you can't hold on
just look into this story and find out where you went wrong

candy coated secrets upon candy coated lies
something so sweet covering something so bitter inside.
silent screams echo in the darkness as the rain falls
lightning and thunder shatter making them feel so small

porcelain eyes stare blindly at you waiting for your next move
the audience smirks and says "what are you trying to prove"
you break under pressure and scatter pieces on the floor.
internally your breaking a little more and a little more
your mascara runs as the radio blares, glitter falls from your eyes.
your room is your stage an egotistical disguise
you sing your sad love songs about a girl who is broken and torn
with a fragile heart that is shattered, stitches that are worn

candy coated secrets upon candy coated lies
something so sweet covering something so bitter inside.
you smile that empathetic smiles as if you really knew
as if everyone was just on stage waiting for a cue

crimson kisses stain her pale white complexion
whispers softly brush her ears shes picture perfection
as the radio plays and her tears stain her checks
she looks up at the sky and tries to speak
illuminating lies, falling deeper into her own darkened protection
pulling her apart with every line of connection.
her eyes gaze up at you as she holds your hands.
so cold, so very cold you are, you let go, she falls, it was your plan.
