In the beginning The world was not the same Perfect and sincere Love was pure and safe Since then I wanted an answer Desire became the solution I gave into temptation I fell for deception This world is beautiful So beautiful it blinds me from the truth Struggling through day by day I lie to myself that it will be okay This world is in disguise So much I slave away in brokenness I try to put a smile on me But the emptiness hurts me more and more Another day How can I turn back Turn to the simple life Where the air is fresh and light Tired of the suffocation of needing to be in control I am drowning in the current How can I escape the fall This world is beautiful So beautiful it blinds me from the truth Struggling day by day I lie to myself that it will be okay Deception in disguise So much I slave away in brokenness I try to put on a smile But the emptiness hurts me even more This world is beautiful So beautiful it blinds me from the truth Struggling day by day I lie to myself that it will all be okay Deception in disguise I slave away in brokenness I try to put on a smile But the emptiness hurts me even more How can I How can I stop pretending
