IF They Only Knew

By Pennrock

Staring at me through a window 
do they really know the truth? 
not even the slightest clue 
they will forever be in pursuit 

but lies are what got me here 
And that is why I hide in fear 
Sometimes the truth hurts but, 
you shouldn’t run from it my dear 

running's the only thing left to do, 
they couldn't help me, could they help you ? 
they tortured me like hell, 
yet somehow I made it through. 

making it through the thoughts 
that threaten me day by day. 
tell me could you help me 
to keep them all at bay? 

I can try my best 
but there are no guarantees. 
I can promise that I'll be there 
for you when you are in need. 

promises are instantly abandoned 
when they're made to me. 
everyone feels the need to flee 
so won’t you please stay with me? 

I wouldn't leave you to suffer, 
you're far too valuable in my eyes. 
when things become intense, 
on my shoulder you can cry. 

careful with your words, 
they can do more damage than swords, 
to endure all of those damages 
I am unable to afford 


we’re all a little sore 
from the stab wounds on our skin, 
but you should wear your scars with pride 
not every battle you’re going to win 

the stab wounds always seem 
to appear upon the back 
why is that where people 
always decide to attack? 

because they figure that's the spot 
that will have the most impact, 
but the heart hurts worse 
for hurting both they have a knack 

lacking brains, some go for the heart, 
but most people don’t know how much pain it causes 
others drive me insane until I completely fall apart, 
to the point where my blood circulation pauses 

it's all just a test of which 
they're all scared of the outcome. 
the results more often than never, 
are always failures I'm not stunned. 

failure is and always will be inevitable, 
but cant we study honesty and truth? 
surely some must pass this test 
and learn the difference between the two 

one of the commandments is 'Thou shalt not lie', 
but everybody does and I just wanna know why? 
people say one thing but they can mean the other, 
it makes no sense at all for us to abuse each other 

I don't think we even know how to make sense 
being misunderstood is what we seem to seek, 
this might confuse people from the other side of the fence 
so if you are against me then please speak
