Who all lies to hide the pain?

Who all lies to hide the stain?

If only They knew,that They were sane.

That countless others felt the same.

We feel the same, but We, We're different.
You just have to look at it from a different perspective.
You have to be Your own detective.

Who says You,
You know Me.
You know nothing.

Why I lie to hide the pain?
Why I lie to hide the stain?
Why I feel that I'm not sane?
That countless others DON'T feel the same.

Because I need advice,
not another alibi to cap the bottle.
