Truth or Consequences

Of all the evils in this place,
Of all the sins your could repeat,
Just one more of yours I must face�
But you cover it up with more deceit.

Your lies are piling higher,
Choking me to the last breath.
Just one truth would light my fire
For that alone I�d face death.

You feel so guilty, yet you can�t quit,
As everything you say is lies.
You won�t sleep till you end it;
Until the obsessive deceit dies.

Your teeth grind in your sleep�
Perhaps you�re reflecting on your day.
Or in your dreams you may be weeping,
For there�s no truth in anything you say.
