Pathological Liars We Know You'Re Lying

Pathological liars lie to hide behind the lie, 
terrified of their honest truth becoming realized
which they hide in their fragile mind kept captive 'til they die 
as they seek attention through misdirection mastered over time 

repeatedly repeating start believing their own words 
as people slowly start to see dishonesty absurd 
and if you point out what's occurring things only get worse 
as they defend with hostile nerve sticking to what they've served 

as lies back lies that back the lies they say you misunderstood 
then they will explain that already explained as though it adds true worth 
clearly they aren't backing down and think your brain don't work 
so you decide to let it go, and with that so, they believe their good 

this is when delusion spawns an elevated perch 
next they lie without effort and thoughts are barely searched 
they think they've got a natural skill that others can't assert 
as everyone else looks at them thinking "what a total berk" 

they think never admitting the lie means they are never lying 
and therefore nothing can be proved so they stick to denying 
oh my god their logic's lost somewhere or it is skiving 
just be bloody honest mate, respect for you is dying 

of course they think they've done it well so they wont pay attention,
absolutely barking mad living in a demented dimension
