Sweetness and Shadows

Sweet on the surface, shadows lurking deep

Promises hollow, secrets that we keep

Pretty in the morning glow, smile that lights the sky

Eyes that hide the chaos, a disguise you won't deny

Painted innocence, a mask so carefully worn

But beneath this beauty, a storm is silently born

Oh, what lies behind that charming face?

A tangled web of dark, a secret place

So sweet and pretty on the outside

But dirty on the inside, where secrets hide

A beautiful facade, a wicked game

Covered in innocence, but cloaked in shame

Whispered lullabies, sweet words that deceive

In the mirror’s reflection, something hard to believe

Dancing on the edge of right and wrong

A beautiful facade hiding what’s been wrong for so long

Oh, what lies behind that charming face?

A tangled web of dark, a secret place

So sweet and pretty on the outside

But dirty on the inside, where secrets hide

A beautiful facade, a wicked game

Covered in innocence, but cloaked in shame

Inside, secrets whispered in the dark

The beauty’s just a spark, a fleeting mark

Can you see the fire burning deep?

Secrets that the eyes don't keep

Sweet and pretty, a deadly guise

Love and lies dance in disguise

Behind the smile, the truth resides

Dirty on the inside, where darkness hides
