A Mate Too Sad
A liars lie is to say you lie
paint themselves a real nice guy
Not the people that know them well
but all the others they go and tell
It’s done as a preemptive strike
spreading rumours of what you’re like
They can’t tell the lies from real life
and when you talk it don’t sound right
Twisted truth and so two faced
want the world to hear their case
how hard they try to help a fake
but they can’t and get headaches
One day once they had a problem
truth and lie were both an option
they chose to lie it became often
now they lie and nothing stops them
Full commitment to the cause
Ignorance towards the flaws
they even give them self applause
think the world is full of fools
They sign up for the football team
and appear in the team pictures
but every week they lie again
through injury not featured
very quickly injury free
when trophies are in reach
pride collecting their trophy
so cringe worthy to see
What the hell is a medal worth
when you ain’t put in any work
or maybe it’s somehow deserved
effort made saying you are hurt
Anyhow their lying now
saying you’re someone they doubt
making sure they bring you down
so they’re left alone standing proud
They will give you a weakness
one opposite to their strengths
run you down for failing like this
their skill you’re up against
So in their head they can beat you
they make it up as they need too
forgetting telling someone you know
talking lies that clearly show
You don’t behave the way they say
you just don’t operate that way
it is isn’t you they put on display
So don’t believe a word they say
but liars think their lie has worked
even when they lie the worst
it’s their skill and it’s their worth
they speak and all believe what’s heard
They call it delusions of grandeur
Self absorbed and out to slander
done to gain the upper hander
think they are the grand commander
Shocks them hard being found out
they stick to lies without doubt
it means that they can’t be found
they deserve a roundhouse
You can con yourself
that no one is aware
until you’ve no one else
with nobody who cares.
