Born to lie

Here I am again
Sitting in the corner of a room
Watching other's smile bloom
Where those memories remain

Who knew where those lies were
Behind those smiles stood the lies that made them a fool
Here we are again
Drown in misery 
Without comforting our issues
Those silent cries, those silent suspicions

Oh now we have stood so steep
That on surface we hide our pain
That underneath its a growing torment

How wonderful the world would be
If it lost the will to hide
Will honesty win the heart of all?
Or will it be the reason of a downfall

But we shall keep it a mystery
Human have a skill for that
Extending peace was never in the dictionary 
We were born to lie
