Tell me what you're feeling
Sweet-talk your way into my heart
Break down the walls of innocence
Take my body in your arms
Together we take another step in the art of growing up

Time stretches on and my feelings slowly mature
Secrets kept within the cage that surrounds my heart
I hide behind a sweet masquerade
Influencing a false sense of security in your mind
It's of no use any more
You can read me like a book
You plant a false belief of trust between us
Pressuring me to let everything go

And so I confessed myself to you
Let you discover the inner most secrets of my mind
I place my heart into the palm of your hands
Praying you won't betray me in a desperate act to escape
The words stream out in the rhythm of my voice
Playing over the movement of my tongue
Pouring out my soul for your listening pleasure
Promises of secrecy
Promises of friendship
Promises of a future that seemed realistic to my crying eyes

You panic.
Realization of false statements flowing into your mind
Suffocated by the intensity of such a trust put into you
Thoughts raping your brain of all dignity
Your respect has dissolved in a wave of anxiety
You become cruel in your acts of so-called friendship
And the level of ignorance rises in the back of your mind
You promised me you wouldn't leave
But you left me in an abstract attempt to push me away

Animosity grows
And I'm trying to make you understand
Releasing the truth was a risk I wrongly took
My reward is your confusion to my anger
I feel I can no longer handle the false bonds between us
And so I walk away
Leaving you in the trails of oblivion
