Lies


What are these words? What do you speak?
These lies I here, how you speak.

How do you speak?
You speak in lies.

Lies you tell everyday.
Lies I listen to, trust.

When you speak I listen, listen.
Speak, speak.

Tell me no lies, no more.
I can not take it. 

Take your lies.
Tell no more, speak no more.
