"So you thought____?"

So you thought...

that if you pulled the trigger, shot the soul but left the body no one would notice

that if you apologized after the tears it would make sunshine out of the storm

that if you could just keep everyone quiet that you could live life without accountability

that if you were ever asked about the state of your actions you would lie

that if you could turn all that glitter into gold than you would be a rich bitch, living life to fullest with no regard for the other man

that if you could get everyone to believe the lies no one would search for truth

that if you could turn back the hands of time you would commit the same actions, except this time you would find some dirt on other people so they would not have room to talk

that if you betray your brethren no one would continue to scrutinize you

that if you would have just bite the goddamn serpent instead of the apple there would be no need for sin and thus your present predicament

that if you would have just been honest, you wouldn't have felt so good lying

that if you would have just stayed simple, maybe your life wouldn't have been so complex

that if she would not have left you, maybe the other she would not have felt you

that if maybe you would take off your mask, people would see nothing but the scraps of a bastard child forced to live in a damned world

that if maybe, just maybe, you could get by, you could get high and thereby fly to the land of ignorance because intelligence is only for those that seek understanding but you are wrapped in a web of contentment, shadowed by the idea of the closet life because you know that in order to come out you would have to face reality and to be honest, honesty isn't the best policy.
