The Truth Please

Oh how we lie to ourselves

From other people’s lies

Oh how convince ourselves

From other people’s conviction

Swept along on

One big tidal wave

Of emotion

 

Words are all we have

But do they really show

The truth

Of the emotion

Or are they

Cloak and dagger

To the realities of the situation

 

I say I’m fine

But do you believe me

Why shouldn’t you

Believe me

I always mean what I say

I do

Don’t I?

You always mean what you say

Don’t you?

In this World of constant

Broken promises

How can we trust?

We trust

And we get it wrong

So how can we trust ourselves

 

Oh how we lie to ourselves

From other people’s lies

Oh how we convince ourselves

From other people’s conviction

Swept along on

One big tidal wave

Of emotion

Where’s the truth

Of any situation

Not emotion.

The truth

Lost

In translation!

In something!!!

Lost in emotion.
