I'm hiding inside me

eye sees through my smile

as I shine

for the eyes of another



let him inscribe

what he admires

let him inspire

so many lies

I can provide

any disguise



night folds me beside you

I hide from your eyes

for I know

this illusion is kinder

than what you'll find

inside

if I reveal

my crime



my deception

my invention

my obsession



you may despise

what you may find

hiding behind

all of the lies

let me provide

one more disguise



you won't understand me

I can't let you try

still I dream

of the day you discover



I am the spy
