Living a Lie
Putting on a show is so easy for you,
Your image is so important to you,
Say impressive words, sounds good,
But you don't do it, as you should.
So you think life's like a coin,
that has two faces,
Real life's not like that,
You can't live in two places.
Living a lie will catch up to you,
at the end of the day.
Your lies will be discovered,
and you will have to pay.
Does your guilty conscience,
Let you sleep well at night?
The truth will be discovered,
when he shines the light.
