Lies

There comes a time in every mans life
Where he starts to realize all the little lies
From people hiding the facts
You never thought you'd be lied to but it's all just an act
People wake up everyday and put on a new face
We'll never see what's there, because life has turned into a race
That face is who we see what we miss is what's behind the mask
We won't even take the time out to talk to them and ask
Everyone looks out for themselves instead of unifying
We could be so much stronger if we'd just stop lying
Lies can lead to deaths and deaths will lead to crying
trying to breathe in fresh air..but its all been corrupted
The life of people have been disrupted
Instead of letting us live as one
They got us split up man we're under the gun
I don't know I can say all I want they say one person 
Can make a difference I don't think they know that for certain
