“Living lie”

You’re a Living lie,

Truth’s fugitive on the loose.

Deception feeds on your insides like a cancerous disease;

And your streams of honesty are flooded with dark water.


You’re a Living lie,

An immaculate illusion that fools the naked eye so easily,

Like the colors of a chameleon harmonizing with nature.

So profuse are the lies, they created a wall;

Lo and behold, The Berlin Wall of false pretentions.


Cease to be a Living lie,

Burn the veil and lay bare your flaws.

Allow the truth to command your heart.

However deadly shame may be, conquer it,

For it only kills a man arrested by fear.

Love this Nigel. It's beautiful. Just when the first two verses kick you down, the third picks you up. Regardless, we all need to stop wearing our masks, fearful about what the world may think. It's hard though. And it's a process.
