I have no reason to pretend

I have no reason to pretend 
Or wear a mask to hide the truth
I have no thoughts that I must bend
To turn the heads of idle youth

And yet I see the subtle lure
That draws me in to play the game 
At last my boredom has a cure
If I can only take the pain

The drifting smoke the shifting sand
The mirror placed with expert care
The shallow surface of the land
Cannot conceal the dragons lair

So as I wander through the mist
My head still spinning with the lies
I tell myself I will resist
The poison path where beauty dies
