Confessions
Unveiling Masks of Deception
Lyrics
I could use your gullibility
I may exploit your tendency to believe things easily
Distort the painful truth
Twist and manipulate the painful reality
Present a fear and laugh at you
Portray a false threat and mock you
Leave you lost unsure removed
Leave you confused, uncertain, and distant
The must I feel to put it right
The compulsion I feel to make things right
Put an end to naive faith
End naive faith in the superficial success path
In slick success's avenue..
In the glamorous but empty road of success
The vacuum of save face
The emptiness of preserving one's public image
Direct words can turn lost minds
Straightforward words can influence confused minds
Towards some monster seed
Towards some destructive influence or idea
Lyrics sung from pretty looks
Lyrical content sung by attractive appearances
Can on the reader feed
Can manipulate the reader's perceptions
Be strong to check and recognize
Be resilient to examine and acknowledge
The pretty face is all
Beauty alone is not sufficient
But being used to sell you songs
Yet used to market songs that lack depth
That never say it all
Songs that don't convey the complete truth
The incident meets the senses
An event affecting the senses
The illusions in a mask
Illusions hidden behind a facade
The sun of a summer afternoon
The brightness of a summer day
Docility rocks the mask
Compliance dominates the facade
Broken loose from moorings
Released from fixed positions or beliefs
In a flash the swell had passed
Suddenly, the swell or surge had passed
Towards the beach with unabated speed
Towards the shore with unstoppable speed
Confessions of a mask
Revelations of hidden truths behind the facade
