trust no one
in this deceitful life
trust no one
it only brings strife
trust god
and he only lets you down
i could tell you stories
of which i am bound
ever since
i was a little girl
i was told to trust him
over the rest of the world
well how far did that get me?
my parents still drink and smoke
for years i was fervent prayer
until i finally realized it was all a joke
oh sure
i still believe that god's there
i just don't believe
the lie that he cares
trust your friends
what good does that do?
so that when they're angry
they can back-stab you?
so much for friends forever
when you were never friends at all
so much for trusting them
when they treat you like a lifeless doll
by all means
the worst thing you could do
is trust the lie of love
and that it heals you
all it does is
deceive you
beat you
bruise you
confuse you
abuse you
love is an illusion
for the weak of heart
nothing but a series of lies
twisted into painful art
but being blind by such ignorance
i was too was decieved
wish i wasn't so stupid
wish i wasn't so naive
trust no one
sometimes not even yourself
trust no one
especially someone else
but despite
all that i've said
there are two things i trust
my skin and my paper
but even their loyalty rusts
i trust the paper
to record my words
silent and still
as i spill my hurt
i trust my skin
as i cut away pain
with no words or feelings
left to remain
i'm telling you trust no one
and for the ones that are worth
they are rare and precious
and usually die at birth
