Turnspeak

I dream of you all the time
The ending is always the same
You are climbing, reaching back
I am afraid to take your hand
I betrayed you because
I said I never would
There’s power in deception

I let you in, but never told you
As closeness changed the rule to confuse
Maybe shadow riding was your patience
Waiting for the mirror to crack

Turn and speak to me
Forgive me for my deceptions
Turn and speak to me
You’re the only one I’ve ever loved

There were lies to protect me
Lies to manipulate
Lies for the sake of lying
Pretense stipulates
But mostly there were lies about 
Our love

Turn and speak to me
Forgive me for my deceptions
Turn and speak to me
You’re the only one I’ve ever loved

I don’t know real anymore
I’ve spun a web to my own clues
I chose fear over love
Now fear is a fickle companion
I betrayed you because
I said I never would
There is weakness in deception
There is weakness in deception
