Some lie

Some lie to the undecided Disguise what they believe Utopia is ahead, so it's easy to deceive Some lie to themselves To avoid facing glaring flaws And the contradictions of their cause Some lie to the faithful, To make them hate more, They stir up the fire, then walk out the door Some lie to the lost ones, With a hand on their back, The more cannon fodder for the attack. Some lie because they think the truth could make you ignite Do you want condescension or to know what is right? It's a jungle out there Between what's false and what's true If it feels wrong, pursue every clue. If it feels right, still truth pursue.
