No Right to the Truth

It's not that you weren't there
It's that you were there under false pretenses
Motivated by something kept secret
Smiling for different reasons
You always with an ace up your sleeve
And by avoiding the truth you also avoided the lie
You don't really have to lie to children
They have no right to the truth anyway
So silence is enough
To answer most questions

See that's what still gets me now
How long the secret stayed in your head
It ends up that we reveal ourselves without knowing it
If someone's watching us closely they can spot it
That's how I figured you out man
I let you slip up
A thousand times
But every victory just made me weaker
The more truth I got the heavier my head became
Till I was walking around like you
Almost falling over 'cause my head was full of concrete excuses
