Deceiver/Deceived

Do you believe,

Everything you hear,

Or is it only what you see?

Is everything really black and white,

Or is it all a shade of grey?

Tell me,

Is your head in the clouds,

Or buried underground?

Lie, deny, evade,

And bend the truth until it starts to break.

Distort reality.

So fake, persuade, betray,

Then tell yourself that everyone's to blame,

Deceiver and deceived.

Have you been sold,

The river full of gold?

The castle on the hill of sand?

Do you now see

The forest for the trees

Or do you keep falling for the sleight of hand?

It's your head in the clouds

Our buried underground?

Lie, deny, evade,

And bend the truth until it starts to break.

Distort reality.

So fake, persuade, betray,

Then tell yourself that everyone's to blame,

Deceiver and deceived.

Truth is not relative.

Truth is absolute.

To reject truth is a choice,

And every choice has a consequence.

Lie, deny, evade,

Fake, persuade, betray.

Lie, deny, evade,

And bend the truth until it starts to break.

Distort reality.

So fake, persuade, betray,

Then tell yourself that everyone's to blame,

Deceiver and deceived.
