Burning Truth

Did truth snag its ever flow of purity
Did we spiral into a verse of incendiary
Flames that squall our burning soul
Did truth play me as a lucid fool?

Even if the length of time was piled high
I think I'd still cry the same and wonder why
Even when trust is built like a wall
I wonder if there was a lie mixed in it all.

I can let the flames lick away the varying lies
And seek something other than truth before I die
Wonder what screams its incessant pain
And lets me run into the flurry of my own insane.
