She Told Me True Lies

All she told me were true lies,
I never saw the cloud in her eyes
and falsehood swirling in her skies...
I was a worm, now I am wise.

Love can never be blurred or blind,
lust only took the best of my mind...
I was a worm, now I am wise
never to walk in the lane of lies.

There were stars in her sensual eyes,
I was a worm, now I am wise.
The truth we hear is not always true;
the sky is not always bright and blue.

I was a worm, now I am wise,
my eyes seas beyond the blue skies.
I listened to the silence of reality
and fled from the field of fantasy.
