White Lies and Pretty Eyes.

Have you ever noticed the white lies behind her pretty eyes?
How about the tear stains and the scars on her veins?
Her smile hides the pain inside her mind.
The soul wants to be free, beginning to flee.
She is counting the days until she sees the rays
Of sunlight gleaming off the streets paved with gold.

Is this really where she will go when death takes her last breath?
Shall the flames consume her letting her burn the scars away?
Death brings hope of rest, laying there in dark nothingness.
Then the bright white light shows and pulls you forward.
Showing you your past life, and what you did wrong
Forgiving you for your sins, letting you live once again.

The scars on her veins stop bleeding, she is breathing.
Heart is beating, tears still streaming, but she knows.
She is meant to stay alive in this world for a little bit longer.
Have you ever noticed her smile is brighter than before?
The scars on her arms are fading and she is believing.
For once in her life the white lies do not show in her eyes.
