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
