Tangled Truths

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

They spin their tales in tangled threads

Round and round inside our heads

A game of whispers

Truth misled

[Prechorus]

We see the cracks beneath the paint

They smile wide

But hearts are faint

[Chorus]

We know they’re lying

Oh they know it too

They know we see it

Every clue

Around and around

The circle’s tight

Lying in circles

Out of sight

[Verse 2]

The mirror bends

The glass distorts

Truth’s a ship that’s lost its ports

They laugh like kings in hollow courts

[Chorus]

We know they’re lying

Oh they know it too

They know we see it

Every clue

Around and around

The circle’s tight

Lying in circles

Out of sight

[Bridge]

Truth’s a shadow

Hard to chase

Every smile hides a trace

They know

We know

It’s all a play

But the stage lights never fade away

Thank you. This is a lyric to a song I wrote. All my songs are available on YouTube, Amazon and Spotify (linked below). It would mean the world to me if you would consider subscribing here as well as on my other platforms. And tips here on Vocal are always welcome!

I've been writing songs since I was 14, and I'm not going to share how long ago that was! I trained in songwriting and composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA as well as DAW. Unfortunately, life happened and although I kept writing I was not able to push my music the way I can now thanks to technology.

I am a global nomad, and I move from place to place about every three months. I am currently in Peru.
