Book of Lies

We go about our lives,

opportunities that pass by. 

We believe we need air to breathe, 

and a life to thrive.

lies consume our day to day actions, 

that girl you met, she doesn't represent. 

The idea that people need lies to conquer,

that one day that kid in class will regret his dialect. 

Humans are believers, we suffer from lies, 

so why did the girl next door compromise.

we hide our faces from what we care for, 

for what, popularity? 

That girl next door, has her own problems, 

with her own rules.

Think about it, did she go to school?

Bruises scar, without your hateful words bombing,

lives change, people change, people don't care.

We lose ourselves in what we believe.

But what be believe is sinful.

We cross the line,

by our  day to day lives. 

We're rebellious, we don't listen. 

For what? Our positions? 

Like the quarterback on that one football team,

he gets all the credit, but what about the players.

Everyone knows who Aaron Rodgers is, 

but whose Mike Daniels, or Mason Crosby. 

We lose sight of who makes up the team, 

for who runs it. 

Sounds like life. All of us stand for a purpose, 

but we all know the person who did something.

what about our victory?

We deserve recognition just the same as the next.

we trust ourselves thinking we know best, 

who knows you better than you right?

wrong. We get lost in our motives, 

our actions get out-voted.

we change for what seems to be better, 

bur who crossed that line, was it heather? 

Nah not heather, but our selfishness cries, 

the lies that gain our inner prize. 

We lose ourselves, I've said it twice,

but what good does it do if we don't pay the price?
