How peaceful 
it must seem, 
So much 
like a 
dream,
A seemly life,
with normality 
following like 
the faithful dog
That it is.
However, 
Even though it looks
Like that, 
It must be known 
That it is
All 
A
Beautiful lie, 
A very,
Very,
Beautiful 
lie. 
Meant to keep us 
From the 
truth
Of all origins, 
Including 
ours.
What we live in
Is just a
Beautiful lie, 
A very, 
Very,
Beautiful 
lie.
It keeps 
us 
awake throughout
the night
And 
haunts us 
for 
as long 
as we 
will live.
For all 
may seem 
good,
And 
cheery, 
But 
don't let your 
eyes be fooled
By the magic 
that has
Enshrouded us from the 
truth
Of every 
living thing 
That has lived 
or is 
Living 
on this 
earth.
