What Lies Beneath the Lies
Though man can speak a language filled with truth
The words and deeds from man can be a lie
These liar's lips are formed in days of youth
When they try and hide to disqualify
In every frightened moment lies return
Claim a righteous reason to fill their need
Whether pain is caused is of no concern
It's their bane of existence to mislead
A lie will steal your honor formed at birth
It is a gift that's given not to lose
To hold tight, know its value and its worth
Honor is only lost, for you to chose
What lies beneath the lies of liar's lips?
A conscience lacking nor its ownership
