Excuses Over Reality

[Verse] Stirrin' the pot, broth boilin’ lies reheat, World spins, trapped in blame's deceit, Shadow puppets dance, excuses crafted neat, Slippery slope, intentions incomplete. [Verse 2] Spoken semblance, words tumble and spill, Lip service flood, cracks they fill, Reality dances, still we stand still, Threadin' nonsense, nonsense windmill. [Chorus] Bad excuse, shield from the light, Echoes of truth, obscured from sight, Whispered fallacies, echo through the night, A bad excuse better, even if it ain't right. [Bridge] Silhouettes struggle, tangled web we weave, Broken promises, solace we leave, Concrete intentions, she's hard to perceive, Through the muddle, half-truths achieve. [Verse 3] Tapestry of fibs, painting the scene, Colors run, where silent shadows convene, Layered fallacies, hearts break between, Behind false fronts, devils scheme. [Verse 4] Mirage reflections, blame accretes, Pulled by strings, marionette retreats, Facade’s thin glass, a shattered cheat, Victim to stories, bitter and sweet.
