Jar of Lies

You tell a lie Store in a jar The truth within A dangerous scar Along with the other Lies you've spun Tightening the lid So they won't see the sun You put it In a cushioned box To avoid it breaking And place a lock Days, months, years Go by And still the truths Has yet to fly You think it's over No one'll know Until one day You become careless so You drop the box The lock finds key The jar becomes diamonds The truths breaks free Heads turn Eyes blames Mouths drops All in pain You try to say sorry Make right from wrong But they turn away And ignore your song.
