Lirieke: Rosematter. The Fiscal Year. Inappropriate Mysteries Of The Jersey Shore.

Your sincerity is only skin deep. It is a costume you wear beautifully.
Time is running out, but the finish line is nowhere in sight.
Deadlines come and go,

Your sincerity is only skin deep. It is a costume you wear beautifully
And all I have for show and tell is a wrinkled flag of surrender;
Served especially for you on a silver platter of failure. Like every coward,
I am relieved to have an easy way out.

Your sincerity is only skin deep. It is a costume you wear beautifully
To seduce the weak at heart. Regretfully, the only trait you own is vanity.

Tattered dreams lie on the floor along with what remains of my gown.
This fairy tale was a nightmare in disguise.
And I can't wake up; your lies haunt me.

(Too many, too greedily, hold onto it.
The little lifeboat is quickly sent down.
Too many, too greedily, hold onto it.
The little lifeboat is quickly sent down.
Too many, too greedily, hold onto it.)
