The Lies They Tell

The lies that they tell you make so much sense.

You have no choice but to believe them.

They tell you what seems like the truth,

A pretty twisted version of it.

We lie all the time.

Everyone has.

No one is safe from the world.

The lies haunt you day and night.

You wonder whether it's right.

They don't care for anything but themselves,

and the lies take advantage of that.
