innocence

A shrill sound, Curtain rises on the lie Long hidden Gently, gently Oh no, I said it Entity lost in a cubic labyrinth Stuck on turning a page A fabric of broken truth I find myself caught in your web Your mask falls when I turn away Blah, blah, the apple of my eye What did I expect Even in this sugared mirror, I become guilty Blah, blah, a disguised monster But what have I done A smile decorated with cardboard teeth A tongue split by theatrics Go on, go on Shout as loud as you can Again, again I am innocent My only fault is having broken a rule that went too far Go on, go on Lie until relief A king, a masquerade Ridiculous game of illusions, right? An unaccepted reflection Yet it’s not my fault Exonerated by an alibi My love in free fall Should I tell it? No, Better to lie Guilty of a half-real crime Pointed at as guilty Called "villain" by the majority A painting, a work of art My reflection, a mirror, plagiarism An elevator going up, going down Comparable to your judgment No, no I don’t believe I’m a liar A heartless criminal, you claim Act n°7 justified, Action legitimized I seem honest, don’t I? I do not regret Revealing what should have stayed hidden The secret escaped me Go on, go on Shout as loud as you can Again and again I am innocent My only fault is having broken a rule that went too far Go on, go on Cast your deceptions to the wind Victim of your many masks Do you feel guilty? A mirage born of remorse A face torn from truth A beast hidden beneath your skin Down, down Caught in an endless staircase Again, again Falling in total darkness The night awaiting the crash Everything collapses, shaken, recalled by the earth Go on, go on Shout without restraint Again, again I am innocent My only fault is having crossed the point of no return Trapped in a cage born of my illusions Again, again The world spins, abandoning me Why not declare me innocent? I lied I admit it A confessed fault is half forgiven Blah, blah, the apple of my eye What did I expect Even in this sugared mirror, I become guilty Blah, blah, a disguised monster But what have I done A painted scream collapsing into silence The set fades in the noise of the world
