Today I reinforced the biggest lie
I have kept to myself
The truth wasn't in me today
So I have added extra lies to give it
Strength
I have always told the
Exact same lie
To protect the truth
I tried to just hide this innocent
Little lie at first
But the truth kept standing up
Making it harder for me to keep this a
Secret
If I ever had to tell my love ones
My secret
They will be crushed
I have been doing such a great job
At faking the truth
That I really don't know how to be honest
The truth is
I have convinced myself
Into believing that i am this rich guy
Fuck
There go's the truth
Slipping out at the wrong time
Tricky little bastard
Yeah
I own a nice big house
In a cul-de-sac
I drive an expensive car
I wear the top name brands
Gucci
Louis Vuitton
Prada
I wear an expensive Rolex
Watch
The Cons are
I own nothing
The cloths are fake
the car is a lease
And the house is rented
Oh yeah
The watch is a knock off as well
But don't a leaving soul know this but me
Keeping this a secret
From my family in friends
Is getting harder everyday
Most days I think about just running away
Doing like Niccolo Machiavelli
Did when he faked his own death
So I can leave peacefully
And everyone assumed I died rich
The crazy part about this entire lie is
I use to be the guy I think I am today
Rich and successful
And just like a big gust of wind
It all blew out the window
And I have been faking it every since
I have made some bad decisions
Bad investments
And then shit just happened
I do have my health to thank
I have a labor job now
A good out look for the future
And a beautiful family that mean the world
To me
They all think we are this rich family
And we are just in love though
As long as I look in there eyes in see them happy
Then I guess I will leave with this lie
A little longer
What the hell do they care
As long as we are happy
Technically
I will leave with this lie
Until I see there is know more love being shared
And only then I am not rich anymore
I will just be me again
The family guy
