This is where I tell her a lie
To cover up another
Which masked the one before
That I created in defence
Of the first one I told
In order to conceal the truth
From being uncovered
This is why we cry
How we hurt each other
Virtue gets lost in war
As we hide behind the wire fence
And even when we're old
Devoid of our glorious youth
The truth is never discovered
This is how we should try
To stand as one, together
Go from door to door
Gathering, building strength
So even in lies so cold
There's no need for truce
But honesty, just honesty so revered
