big & small
these are lies
lies that're created on the fly
lies that nobody will buy

serious or casual
these are lies
lies that redefine
lies that don't tally & don't bind

however,
these are lies
lies that cover up
so that nobody will die

from nine to five
from five to nine
it's lies that structure their mind
they never'd live without a lie

from nine to five
from five to nine
it's lies that break a kinship or tie
it's lies that make others suffer & cry

when someone commits an error
you'll instantly witness
lies of all colors & all kind
it's lies that defy

when someone commits an error
it certainly can't be mine
so let it be thine!
you can always trust me with a lie!
