Honest To A Fault

 
Put yourself on trial
When conscience speaks to interrogate without a guilty plea
Follow your heart but you lost it when love became the casualty
Co conspirators of sabotage and swayed scales of fabricated morality

Synchronized marionettes in the puppeteering of a scandal
Face the facts through the filter of the lies when the truth is something you can’t handle

Is this just my assumption in the allegations of the motive when I misread the abundance of your heart
Guilty by association with these words that reveal your silent counterpart

Am I too honest to a fault when my fault is saying what you don’t want to hear
When you’re dishonest to your fault because the reality of you is the monster that you fear

Gullible is written on the jury when you always give yourself the benefit of a false doubt
When your actions are the tell that says what you’re really all about

Extort me with my secrets when you can make a case
I’ll beat you to the blackmail when you try to rub it in my face

Can you see the log in your splinter sighting eye?
Pleading your false innocence on the terms of the counterfeit
You’ve got no alibi
And your reaction is the evidence that proves you’re full of it

Your silence says it best when you’re a living lie
Dishonest to a fault
On the altar of your selfishness is where true love is brought to die
Your ways will end with you because tonight I’m severing the tie…
