The Ugly Truth

The truth was never pretty But we all act smart and witty Sugar coat everything with lies Bringing forth our own demise But we do it cause we can Thinking its the perfect plan It actually works or so it seems We never admit living in dreams Its the ultimate fact, always true Look around, at me and you We act happy when we're sad Us people, we are so bad Sadly, we think we're so good Never wrong, never should Sometimes you got to agree A darkness in us, we never see It comes out every now and then Don't know how, don't know when That fact everyone did realize Their system, it did compromise They try so hard to stay in the dark Shut out every little spark But deep inside I see a light Very dim, barely in sight Everyone's little confession booth Accepting the ugly truth
