Hey Steemit Family. Here is my entry for this week's Open Mic, titled The Truth of a Lie. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics
When I was just a boy
A boy just like you
My mother said you better tell the truth
Oh but I watched her lie
I watched them lie
And now I'm wondering why
The truth is something that
I should try and tell
Made the others run like hell
Bet they cast you in the well
If you say something honestly
Too hard for them to see today
Oh yeah
Well I've seen your eyes
And I know that you're tellin' lies
What you don't know
Is a piece of your soul hides from you
When you lie, like you hide from the truth
Well.... I tried it on for size
I told me a few lies
Little did I know they really multiply
And then I woke up swimming in the middle of a storm
Without land for days thinkin' of tired arms
The truth is a lifeline
A lie is a weight
And as I sink on down I have sealed my fate
Well I've seen your eyes
And I know that you're tellin' lies
What you don't know
Is a piece of your soul hides from you
When you lie, like you hide from the truth
