You walked in with a smile so wide Hands stretched out like a holy guide Words so sweet they could drown the night But shadows moved when you left the light You spoke of peace like it was your creed Planted flowers but they turned to weeds Your kindness cracked like a brittle frame Beneath the gold was a smoldering flame False halo shining bright above Hiding hatred where there should be love I see the mask Slipping away Revealed the truth in the light of day Your whispers carried a venom's bite Dressed in silk but your soul took flight The lies you spun They began to fray Your true self screamed through the grand ballet I gave my trust You took it whole Carved your name into my soul But the echoes of your deeds remain A lesson learned through the ache and pain False halo shining bright above Hiding hatred where there should be love I see the mask Slipping away Revealed the truth in the light of day False halo shining bright above Hiding hatred where there should be love I see the mask Slipping away Revealed the truth in the light of day Oh, oh I gave my trust You took it whole Carved your name into my soul But the echoes of your deeds remain A lesson learned through the ache and pain Ohh False halo shining bright above Hiding hatred where there should be love I see the mask Slipping away Revealed the truth in the light of day
