???


We all try to live in this place
A place of vehement confusion
A place where each is his own
Too many trials and too much treason

We all try to be happy
And get out of our unhappy state
But there are too many lies
And too much deception
Happiness, frustrates

We all have this cold, dark lair
Which surrounds us and fills us up
This becomes our shelter and our cocoon
A place to just sink in

Try and run away from the anxiety
Try and escape gloom
Try and fight misery
The reason we exist,
Why we die so soon

I look myself in the mirror
And see a ghostly reflection back
My identity isn’t me at all
The whole world’s a sham,
Its just black

There are these desperate times
When I just want to break away
The reflection isn’t mine anymore
Where the path, the way?

The reason I exist,
The reason I live,
It all seems so vague and so insignificant
The world is a big, wide place to be

And in that huge place,
What am I doing there?
I am afterall;
Just li’l ol’ me.

Good one Anindita.
We all have this cold, dark liar
Which surrounds us and fills us up
Lair .. or Liar ?
Not sure which context you would be using Liar in
