We’ll win this—
Because we’re not the ones lying?
No, because we’re good liars—
Aren’t we?
The truth will set you free—you say?
I don't need to be free:
I'm Clever—I'm Greed
And that’s all we[I] need to succeed...

The words drip from your lips
Like water from a faucet
The lies and fables 
Is screeching to unfold
The truth will set you free
If not in bondage you will be
So lift the veil on every secret and every lie
Your wings flap free
You will soar so high…...

The truth will…

Shaken you, 
Revolutionize you, 
Change you,
Kill you,
Save you,
Break you,
Encourage you,
Remind you,
Empower you…

No matter how a truth is spoken though,
Always remember that the truest of words
Have the power to set you free....

We who spilt the split atom
We who gravitate away from gravity
The cancer seeking the cure
What happened to all the o'clock's
Lost in plain sight
Truth may set you free
but the lie
will always hide us
 humanity
I choose to be apart
Finished before i start...

when the fog starts to clear
becoming transparent like glass
and what you knew going in
starts to tumble down fast

when the pieces start to fit
finding the one that you missed
once hidden under a rug
beneath the chair in which you sit

closure will finally come
as I distance you from me
like the old saying goes
the truth does set you free...

The truth shall set you free,
Run, stumble and fall,
It comes for you,
None were as passionate as we.
Irresistible your call,
It comes for me, too,
But the truth is a painful illusion,
All we ever wanted,
Our mind's blinded delusion,
Turned in what we hated,
As passion becomes intrusion.
Love is wasted,
Truth is mere confusion,
Bitter once tasted....

Thou shall have no other gods before ME
  The truth shall set you FREE  
  Thou shall love The Lord thy God will all thine HEART
  Thou shall have no other gods before ME
  Willful disobedience and disrespect toward God are not SMART
  To be free and live forever require that we eat from the right TREE
  Thou shall have no other gods before ME
  The truth shall set you FREE...

My mouth is dry,
my heart seams to beat
out of rhythm
in sick thuds.

I have the sensation
the sky is about to fall,
secrets crackle
like static electricity.

I am secure in my sanity
the truth has set me free,
of course, I had doubts;
who, in my position,
would not ? .


(maybe I should drink less coffee)

the prayers I said while on the beach
the closest place to Heaven for me
You are so close, I feel you there
Your grace shining everywhere

I look for truths, talk out loud
shedding openly this heavy shroud
plead redemption to impart
in the atrium of my heart

answers come from my request
not what I wanted but for the best
what I find is what I seek
and this truth will set you free...

The Truth Shall Set You Free,
No Doubt, I truly do agree,
But too much truth can tear the soul,
If souls aren’t ready to hear it.
I timely lie can heal the self,
And leave the soul to introspect,
Then such truth can come from God,
And shame won’t be down like a rod,
So share the truth, whether good or bad, but always with good reason,
Cause yes the truth shall set you free, but everything in its season....

Trying to find meaning in the ocean
But with all of the commotion 
It feels more like a tidal wave

Searching for the answers
Waiting to be saved

Resurrected by the sea

Salvation in the salt
That licks my wounds with impurity

Forgotten memory cast away
Surreal amidst a dream

Floating along the current 
Pulling me in deep

How the roar of the ocean
Sounds like drifting screams 

Whispering in my ear
How the truth will set you free...

I told a great lie in my time
Should I tell the truth to be free
Politicans lie all the time when in a bind
When truth comes out are they free?
Tell a lie and then the truth
If you are free we will see

What set me free in this sinful world?
It was knowledge 
A nugget of gold not found in the ground
The truth is not about a lie
It's knowing the true God by and by
A world filled with god's to the brim
The truth set me free
When I found him you see...

My sarcophagus is made of gold,
my soul is filled with coal.
Breathing was impossible,
trying to catch my last breath.
When there was no air to have.
My sarcophagus will just rust away,
as my body decays.
And memories fade,
You are all outsiders looking in.
The endless thoughtlessness, heartless, tormentors you are.
wishing for me to relinquish my life,
My sarcophagus is made of gold.
My soul is filled with coal.
The yearning of truth will set me free....

An unexpecting
Beauty lies on
Critics' eyes.
Do expect
Enormous evaluation
For every opinion
Going around
Has basis and
Is true,
Just stick to what you
Know the truth.
Love them
More than they hate you
Not because you have to
Or you should too,
People will judge and
Question you.
Respect them,
Spill only fact,
Truth will set you free
Under any control and 
Vulgar accusation.
Winning is for you
Xylophone hymns will do.
You will achieve it by
Zippering your mouth too....

Words come to me from inside my head.
Instantly, as I arise from out of my bed.
Today I search for where the words will go.
How will I view what the future shall show?

Another moment passes as time does fly.
Leaving behind me all that shall pass by.
Listening for a reason and wondering why,
I become a part of all the things I do try.

Knowing is not all it seems to be.
No one is left here it’s only me.
Only the truth can set me free.
When will I know all that I see?...

Don’t tell the tale if you don’t mean it

The truth will set you free if you can commit

Stand by your principles until you die

How can you ever live with a lie

Strive for perfection uphold your conviction

Don’t leave your story behind written in fiction

Live free and don’t be deceitful

You’ll have a black heart if you’re selfishly working an angle

Some words are strongly boasted from a far

But its your actions in life that define who you really are...

Lying to our self
The fruits are a product of the tree
It’s so obvious  
That’s the tragedy

Our body tells a story
That the lies can never hide
You can repeat it all you want
However; lies only fuel a troubled mind

So stop lying to yourself
There’s beauty in the truth
When you practice what you preach
The life you live will be the proof

Honesty is the answer
To curing this self-inflicted disease
Self-compassion
Stop lying – and the truth will set you free...
