Stop Lying, My Friend

Open your eyes and look honestly
Stop the deception and see reality
Nothing doing to admit what is true
Wasting your time hiding behind the booze, the travel, 
the fake laughter, the chatter
True joy takes home behind the untruth
Once you admit
There is nothing more to lose
Look at my eyes and see the warmth
Words may be harsh to your ears but that's all
Just take a step closer to you
Walk through the mud, break out of the cocoon
There you will see a big tree of hope
You can lie down beneath into the arms once folded
Sink deeper still into the dark of calm
It is there. it is there
That you will be found
