Book of Lies

Truth having on place to be found
Falsehood is the chapter always being bound
Chapters after chapters that are never defined
Yet total conviction that’s never kind
There’s never a reason for truth to sink in
Book of lies that never bends
The Book Of Lies for people to feel like fools
Circumstances that would make anyone drool
You don’t deserve the truth
Think back on the evilness you did in your youth
It was people’s hearts you torn apart
Yet you continued your lies thinking you were clever and smart
Book of Lies was written just for you
It is for you in thinking through
Your constant lies
Come to yourself and compromise
You will find you are the surprise
Lies in turning things around
I don’t want to hear it, and don’t make a sound
Book of Lies that had its own truth
Your lies were of that proof.
