The bottom Line
Creatively crafted lies
Invisibly undisguised
If their mouth could've only heard how it sounded through my eyes
Exaggerations sensationalized
The comprised replies from the unwise
No change in tune it's a reprise from all that's contrived and described in the script flipped
Unable to recognize what's real will rise
As I realize real lies from slipped lips and untied ties
The tongue untied in time prematurely for the untimely demise
There's no measure or size of high enough to make me compromise my prize
It's no surprise with whom it is I can and can't and do and don't rely
I know where loyalties lie
I know friend from foe friendly enemies from lukewarm friends from my true allies
and what exactly that implies
Like a Russian spy
not quiet so sly
getting eaten up by the fox after wolf had twice been cried
The not so subtle ticks derived inside us
Certain things we just can not hide
It doesn't add up
Two bottom lines too many here
and there a few words too shy
Repetitive stuttering long winded sighs
Looking down over thinking with blasphemous blinking so we don't see eye to I
You can try to hide the sky but you can't hide this high
Try saving face
Face me face to face and look me in my eyes
I'll see straight through your blind design behind your mind
your nevermind and I'll see your soul inside
Some say there's a little bit truth that comes with every little white lie
Usually the part that's true is the part that gets denied
But to be exact
There's no such act
To tell a lie that's little or white
and that's a cold black fact
What they decide through their teeth to connive
Lacks tact and don't coincide
It's the devil's work kiss your bride bye-bye
Take it with pride before the fall after the bribe
The mind attempted homicide on its very own stone heart
With fleeting beats nearly deceased It barely survived
As the tongue committed suicide with its edge so sharp
Silenced and severed from treasured displeasure released deceased unrevived
The devil's in the details on the inside he resides
To make confusing and conflicted when you try to improvise
We'll all lie in the bed we've made
Where living proof these words will never fade
For every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth, sooner or later that debt is paid
