Shadows and Lies

Everything lies between shadows and lies
At least that is my understanding
And you can't leave behind those things that you hide
They're all there for the taking

Some thing you'll find
In the back of your mind for safe keeping
Will catch you from behind
If you keep it in hiding

Everyone lies beneath shadows and size
At least that's what they taught me
Everyone's eyes shape the truth with white lies
They're sometimes so convincing

A lesson of mine
An old lesson in longing
Don't close your eyes
Or you'll miss what you're wanting
