Sweet Deception

Sweet deception

Oh cruel, cruel, cruelest comfort

I have known the first

I have known the last

Of your kind

Sweet deception

My one consolation

Shall I find my rest

In the quietest

Of lies

Sweet deception

My best, my best intention

Are you a keeper of names

A bearer of sins

Do you hide yourself

In bones and sin

Oh sweet deception

Sweet deception

Most careless of those

Shall I call your name

Or learn to be

Alone
