Embers

From laughter to rage
So quickly they flow
It's all just a game
It's all just a lie

Things falsely perfect
Harmonious tale
Hiding the discord
Masking the hate

Put on a show
For a week or two
My passion, my heart
Like a landlord to please

All that I've worked for
All for foolishness' love
All for faked-up masks
Feeding the coals of dying embers.
