True Lies

Renegade lover of disturbing truths Lies, deceit and decrepit denials Covering the hearts of those that needed proof Throwing their faith to depart with a power The physical outweighing our soul’s true worth The bandaged fighting back before it gets much worse Playing game upon game with our loved ones hearts The only way to live is be the one to start Wholeness is a story in a book of old Decaying on a stone in a graveyard The only fight that’s left is to find the gold Heroes die with each search and plunder The deserts are just waiting to become a state The trees were meant to fall because we are their fate Welcome to the city of the planet earth The greenery is gone but so is our love’s worth So obvious and true that we’re a vain cliché Running from love to become the winter We’ll never see the infinite because today We hide and become once more faithless The towering denial of a corporate plague The innocent that die because our laws are vague People joining hate because the light’s denied One more day of hope is another day of lies
