Eyes tell lies, and mind still denies
How I wish I could wake up now
And see the world upright
Its not easy being trapped
In a whirlpool of one’s own making
To try to break free, but weak is the will
Denial is the bitch in my life story
So my eyes lie to me, so the heart survives another day
My mind denies the world to me, so I can sleep another night
Waiting for the emails that will never come
Walking towards the Oasis that is not there
Sand and sand keeps rolling in the glass, as time deceives too
So my eyes lie and my mind denies
Me the reality which I need to escape
The hell of my making.
