An Allegory

We crossed the lines so that we could write our story
Tried to make it discreet so we wrote an allegory
But then they came, the people that had the blame
They went over what we said and polluted our meanings

Smudged it all up till all the words were a blob of non-sense
They were singled out so they were on the prowl and defense
They crossed the lines and inked up the spaces
Hazy truths saturated by deceit leaving no traces

It's our word against their's in this battlefield
Lots of commotion 'cause of what we've revealed
The truth doesn't matter in this hazy scene
The more persuasive person is the least obscene

This is a game of what he said she said
Reputation doesn't matter with the cred
Who's right, who's wrong
Who's weak, who's strong
Doesn't matter 'bout the all along

If you wanna be right gotta twist things here and there
Gotta be flexible 'cause of all the BS that you share
Gotta lose all morals and forget about what you know
'cause you gotta appear right, isn't that so?
