Prevaricator

Does it make you sad to feel
everyone is vulnerable
hide the truth behind you lies
and everything’s all right.

Twist the words until they fit
you fool yourself and all your friends
and when you are unimpeachable
then I’m afraid of you

So I try

Let me show you how to handle
everything they say
Keep your empathy and ignore
all their self-defence.

All your stories, all your tales
only make it worse and worse
like quicksand you’re scrambling in
and does it feel right ?

Bribe your mirror on the wall
makes you rise before you fall
bottom line is you’re allone
then you’ll regret it soon

If you understand
that it’s decency that gets you far
Take off all your masks
show your face and tell the truth
Maybe then you’d see
that people like you anyway

Don’t lose your faith
they’ll like you anyway
