Fake
    by Erica Lyons

Haven’t you ever wished you could run away,
Escape from all these lies?
Never look back, never need to cry?

Hasn't the world ever seemed fake,
Like it's not really there?
Just one step away.

Haven’t you ever wished it was something more;
Something that's worth fighting for?

I wish I had a conscience,
Something to hold me back.
Something to make me care,
Make life seem a bit more fair.

I wish I could escape my own greed,
Care for someone else,
Make someone care for me.

I'm tired of silly jokes,
And I'm tired of all the lies.
It's like there’s something there,
Right before my eyes.
And all I hear from the voices in my head;
Grab on for dear life.
