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
