Click hereTruth and lies
Lies or truth
They're all the same
Why should I care
Do I care
I care too much
I almost let you lie to me
But I bit my tongue instead
Somehow the words seem right
Only spoken in my head
I've thrown away happiness
And opened my door to grief
Somehow managed to shutter myself
Yet I find no peace
Asking only what you tell me
I fill the rest with hopes and fears
In them I'm never disappointed
Sturdy and solid held back by a few tears
So I sit here with a jar of rum
Asking what I don't know who
Surely rum, and sunken dreams, tell no lies
Echos of unuttered words my steadfast proof.
