• ‘The truth will set you free
    So stick to honesty’

    No matter the pain it brings
    The heart break and sting

    I want only to know what is true-
    That’s all asked of you.

    And if it’s lies that turn the world
    Let it crumble, come unfurled

    For ‘I love you’s I’d shake my head,
    Not believe a word you said,

    But once or twice my heart did sigh,
    And foolishly for a lie.

    Another face, another day
    And all we had fell to fray

    You forgot my voice and lost my name,
    And never was I quite the same.

    Hollowed out and set aside,
    But for you I never cried

    You just were like all the rest-
    Failed my only simple test.

    Like tar fed smoke you filled my lungs
    Stopped my blood, left eyes stung

    Like that smog you float away
    To choke someone another day
