The truth is vain You can try To shift the blame Or tell a white lie?
Can you colour lies? Can you tell the truth? See it in your eyes? Maybe it's from youth?
Any gender, any age Can believe it untrue Not trapped in the cage Not all, maybe just a few,
Say it, say I never lie Who do you betray? Let a piece of you die With all the lies you say,
I love you, I hate you Let's be together, forever I love you too, I hate you too We will never part, not ever,
Truth and lies Both the same Causing the cries There both vain,
Try not to lie But the truth is vain What? When? Why? It's just part of the brain,
I know the truth is vain Just like lies told and taught Ironically both we all retain Are they only lies if you get caught?
Ashamed, but I try Deny it, all of you do But I know even I lie But at least I know that's true....
