Worldly Desire XIII: Peel Pretense

Are you truly scared?
Ask us, make us do as you say,
but never show fear,
never expose the heart to the liars.
We are your peers,
yet you are your slaves,
as your childish mistakes will claim our lives
and all your future graves.

Face the world and all your desires
with an open mind and heart.
Embrace us not with a hug,
but after you peel pretense.

"Will we ever know
what lies beneath the wheat we've never sowed?
All eyes within our faces dyed with our crows;
when we die, will grace continue our flow?
All the 'whys' we never knew
when we fall hard in a situational brew;
when we walk our pride like it's nothing new;
when we sacrifice the bonds with our dire crew.

We peel pretense like it's never past tense.
Sell us our sense and make us cry,
for we do not deny our recent lies,
as our demise is a sacrifice.

We'd salvage flies that encircle retries
when the shadows forsake forbidden ties.
Just mesmerize us with worldly desires
and all the world will strive with us."
