Naive
Made friends with the wolf when I was the sheep
Found comfort in the lion’s den and with the enemy I sleep
Trusted the liar
Gave my keys to the thief
Supplied the kerosene to the fire
Put my head between the monsters teeth
Turned my back to the stabber
Told my secrets to a spy
Cared for the one who didn’t think I mattered
For a murder I cried
Some say keep your friends close
And your enemies even closer
But how can you tell the difference
When they reek of the same odor
