Lies

The words fly out so fast

So easily

It surprises me

The beauty of a lie

So grand, so false

The delusion of a fool

Oh, such a fool

To believe

To be so naive

But I smile

I know

I’m aware

But I don’t speak

Yet the words fly out

Lie once again

How do I

Know when to stop

When to stop lying

Oh, but when will I know

When to stop this show

Show?

Show me the way out

I’m trapped

Aren’t I?

Am I mad?

Oh, the lies

Please tell me why

Why are you so beautiful

And I smile

I listen

I hear

I’m far and near

I travel with my lies

Oh, but do you believe me my good sir?

Do you believe the beauty that I tell?

My eyes twinkle

My eyes blind

They hold the truth

I try to hide

Read my lips

Dance with the devil

Something so majestic

So sinful

The truth

Hides within my eyes

Don’t look . . .
