Naked

The empress is naked again

An actress hiding from emotion

But I saw right through

I saw the truth beneath

The lies you surround yourself with

Keep it secret

Keep it safe

Keep it far away from you

No feeling, no passion

Just protection from the big, bad world

Hide beneath your mother’s skirt

Like the lost little girl you try not to be

But that’s what you fall back on

Because that’s what you know

That’s what you are

Looking for something or someone

To save you from the boredom

Of the life you refuse to live

But unwilling or unable

To fight your own way out

You used my helping hand

To rip my own heart out

So you can stay there in your bubble

I gave my last damn

When you stomped all over me again

So sorry that you refuse to see

I can’t make you live

Only you can se yourself free

And yet you refuse to open your eyes

You must like your boring world

More than you’d care to admit

So stay there
