"The truth never set me free, so I'll do it myself." ~Paramore, in "Careful"


Those spies,
you could see all their lies
the moment their dark eyes
were upon you.


You're the only light
in this fortress
and surprise surprise
your sixth sense
whispers the truth.

But you shut it out for a second.
And little do you know,
that they've planned it all out
you will scream, cry, and shout,
the whole way through their little show.


Countdown.
tick tock tick tock tick tock.
Hushed crowd.
The whispers, the whispers.

You feel it now,
it's rushing and rushing down.
Boom. It's here.


Put on a straight face,
it's time for the show.
You're in the spot light,
deep breath and go.

Countdown to start-up,
keep holding that note.
Grand Finale, Curtain call,

Now run.

It's on the beginning,
and they're already winning.
They threw you in the lead
when they knew you were not ready.

What happened to your fortress
of invincible power?
Of course it must show up
now or later.

Those critics they're laughing, they're laughing
straight at you.
How ironic; they wrote all those
songs for you.
Your sixth sense was right,
and now you've gotta fight
before you forget that you are
The only Light.

Figure it out, out
out out.
Think you've got it?
Make a plan-plan
Plan it out.

You'll feel it now,
rushing and rushing down.
Boom.
Let's Go.

Put on a straight face,
it's time for the show.
You're in the spot light,
deep breath and go.

Countdown to start-up,
keep holding that note.
Grand Finale, Curtain call,

Put on a straight face,
it's time for the show.
You're in the spot light,
deep breath and go.

Countdown to start-up,
keep holding that note.
Grand Finale, Curtain call

Have some fun.

Welcome back to the real world,
little miss One-Hit-Wonder.
They took you and spat you
straight out again.

You know you deserve to
gain back your thunder.
So why wait? Write a better song.
And hear them sing along.
In vain.

The kicking and screaming...
drowning out the laughter.
The kicking aand screaming....
is coming on faster.

The kicking and screaming...
now their own disaster.
No!
It's your time to shine.

Put on a straight face,
it's time for the show.
You're in the spot light,
deep breath and go.

Countdown to start-up,
keep holding that note.
Grand Finale, Curtain call,

*The look on their faces
is something to see.
Get ready for payback,
you're finally free!

Shout it all out,
for you are to be...*

(The One)

Do it all over again,
but by yourself this time.
See them gasp in punishment
for their lethal crime.

Give it all you've got,
Dark Eyes'll stay away
from you this time.

And you'll remain The Light.
And you'll remain The Light.

You'll remain The Light,
Forevermore.


The author's comments:
The past year has been really hard for me, fighting endlessly with my friends and family, being used for certain perks and connections I have. Eventually, I realized that I can be way too open to people, let them in close and become too trusting too soon. This song is to remind me to stay guarded, and to remember to try and trust my judgement to pick out the liars.
