Youth Code
The World Stage
Tower of cards, your honesty
In what you present
Resentment forged, a fallacy
How quick we forget
Garden of snakes lay coiled
At the base of your feet
Out of your mouth emerging
Is a web of deceit

All the world is all a stage
A setting dressed for you
The windowpane as clear as day
The lie in perfect view

A constant shift to stay away
Controlling what you do
A straining fate, to cement in place
Dying to come through

To fabricate reality
With selfish intent
Manipulatе the scenery
Into what you invеnt
Crocodile tears stream slowly
As you conjure the myth
Accepting lies whole hearted
As a case of respite
A veil of gray, shattering
Behind the fraud
A constant front, burdening
All their applause
Daft in depth and veracity
Hiding in sight
Panning liability
This same old plight

All the world is all a stage
A setting dressed for you
The windowpane as clear as day
The lie in perfect view

A constant shift to stay away
Controlling what you do
A straining fate, to cement in place
Dying to come through
