Too Old For Fairy Tales

They fake

Their smile

They love to lie

They feed of your

Imperfections

They pray

To heal

While you still bleed

You're a victim of

The great deception

Blinding ignorance does mislead us

Wretched mortals, open your eyes

~ Leonardo da Vinci

Come under the mistletoe

I eer to know

Bibles in a firefight

To save a life

Wake me with a hammer throw

Your god should know

World's derailed

I'm too old for fairytales

I know

You're hurt

I’ve seen your scars

But I believe that you have gone too far

You claim

You’re saved

The light

Embraced

You'd sell your daughters

For holy water

Your words won’t tip the scales

Cause you believe in fairytales

Your truth is your own veil

You believe in fairytales
