The Complete Truth

Darling, you look into my green eyes… they may try
To mesmerize you, but if you look way deeper they
Hold the honest truth. You may try to hide and cry,

But if you cannot handle it then why did you stay?
The truth holds up the mirror because all the lies
Are hidden and they make you feel like you weigh

A thousand pounds. All of those pretty little sighs
Got nothing on the truth that is trying to get out
And spill all over you like blood. Your disguise

That you try to wear like second skin is about
To get smashed into thousands of pieces on
The floor when the truth is riding the blowout.

Darling, you know that the truth is long gone
And forgotten about like sharp glass laying
Everywhere. It always gives you a dawn

And new slate. Darling, you are praying
For the truth to guide and steer you home,
But only you can lead the way. You are playing

The truth like the top card or like the dome
Over the truth, safe against the onslaught
Of lies like rain. There you are safe to roam.
