Lies Become Part of Who You Are

Telling the truth can be a good idea
It makes life so much easier
A little lie can be convenient, I know

But like a bag, you have to carry it around
Like a phone, you have to hold it in your hand
Like a watch, you have to wear it every day
And like a scar, it becomes part of who you are

I told the truth and attention disappeared
Instead of what came a total lack of fear
I told a lie and attention multiplied
I told a lie and attention multiplied

Lies will come back and hunt you every time
Lies will come back and hunt you every time
Lies will come back and hunt you every time
Lies will come back and hunt you every time
