The Color of Lies

The little black lie
The little white lie

The little black lie
Take wings and fly

The little white lie
Exaggerates the why

The big black lie
Cries and cries

The big white lie
Will never apologize

Do these two lies
Know the truth

Or will they remain aloof?

Lies realize
That they’re lies

And

They’ll say “hello”
And never say “goodbye”
