Beautiful Lie

If lies were meant to be ugly, than no one would ever believe them.

Has there ever been an ugly lie?

It is ever the beautiful whore.

It goes from mouth to mouth,

Kissing and telling

All the lovely and gorey things

Your ears tingle to hear.

Has there ever been an ugly lie?

It is the most provocative delight.

It will puff your pride,

It will make you gasp in horror,

As it throttles your throat,

You desperately beg for more.

Has there ever been an ugly lie?

It is your tantalizing affair,

Bidding you to come lie on coals.

The more pain invoked,

The further the promise of pleasure,

This bed of gluttony binds you.
