The Role of a Lie
The role of a lie is to spread beyond the truth
To scare away the essence of remaining youth
With sharp teeth and long nails
Often perceived when truth prevails
Amongst the shadows of a fallen land
Truths shine and rebuild from sand
Greater than dreamed of ever before
It shines light brighter than
The candlelit inside the door
So since the statement above is true
The role of the lie starts with you
You have the choice
Between truth and lie
Every time you smile or cry
And with that choice you really choose
To ride or die amongst the few
Ride with the truth
Die with a lie
Im just the proof
Written in time.
Everyone always says that lies travel farther than the truth, so I want to preserve this for future youth.
