Tell me a lie
So much you set about to conceal
Facts are only facts
Deception is how the truth is revealed
Speak to me fool
From every word I will discern
What drives you, what scares you
The one you hate, the one for whom you yearn
Truth on the ground
Can't beat a fib from the branch of a tree
A story woven from whole cloth
Shows me exactly who you want to be
The Devil is in the details, he's ashamed, they say
when in the interest of truth, creativity, you forsake
Nothing is learned that wasn't already known.
Dejected and disappointed... exit the snake.
