The Lie - Dave Kerzner

Stories told that slowly came apart

Following the pulse of a loveless heart

You cannot win the shady game you’ve played

You hide behind the door in the bed you’ve made

Fabricated tales for your sharade

A misguided lost crusade

You, you can’t escape the lie

No matter how hard you try

The future will reveal the reasons why

You poorly chose to lie

As you’re walking toward the ledge

You feel a coldness closer to the edge

Never looking back at what you’ve said

Never thinking how it might be read

Someday you will slip up and be shown

Beside the guilt you own

You, you can’t escape the lie

No matter how hard you try

The future will reveal the reasons why

You poorly chose to lie
