Lies
If I tell you the world is round
You say that it's flat If I say that every rainbow has gold You just turn your back Let me confess my darkest sins At the altar of your scorn There's no absolution Throw me away, I'm torn Tell me your lies The truth is darker that I can see Cover my eyes with your treachery Tell me your lies Your words are silently poisoning Make believe is beautiful Sweet duplicity |
A hornet's nest of butterflies
Sweet, your doubting smile stings Your kindness is the viper's kiss And the snake charmer sings My survival is your revival Keep the tiger in the cage One more time in the circus ring Hope is rising in vain Tell me your lies The truth is darker that I can see Cover my eyes with your treachery Tell me your lies Your words are silently poisoning Make believe is beautiful Sweet duplicity |
