Human Lie Detector
When we remember we gaze off into the distance
the eyes disengage and brain shows the pictures
eyes disengage they aren’t involved in this instance
the brain shows you memories the eyes never feature
When we tell a lie it’s been created in the brain
retrieval is a thought process causing eyes to strain
micro gestures in the eyes help see the created play
the lie that was created without memories to replay
So when I say I see the lie
I’ve seen it before you’ve spoken
The soul is seen in the eyes
And dishonest eyes are broken
Your eyes always move when you think,
It’s a natural uncontrollable motion,
these micro movements missed in a blink
confirm lies before the mouth opens!
