I tasted every bitter lie As you shoved them down my throat Now I'm full of poison-soaked phrases Badly in need of an antidote Lost promises rest in my abdomen Next to the deception I was fed I need a cure for untrue words Before this illness renders me dead Fallacies come crawling back up Venom rising in my windpipe Sick to my stomach with acceptance Your falsehoods have become overripe I can't contain the toxic deceit It's overflowing from my gut Excuses pour out from my mouth Alibis Ive managed to rebut The ***** burns my weary tongue Sour as it leaves my lips Betrayal has me feeling queasy Unwell from hearing your rehearsed scripts My stomach empties it's contents Spewing intricate facades Until it is rid of all the Charades, illusions, and frauds Infected with dishonesty My body is rocked by unease I've taken a turn for the worse Consumed by this relentless disease This virus I have come down with Takes it's toll on my heart and mind I grow more fatigued each day But relief I have yet to find Chills, shakes, soreness, and migraines Plague my organs, bones, and skin My muscles are endlessly cramping I loathe the fever I'm burning in I do not know why I feast on your contaminated reality I'm sure if I continue to I will soon be a fatality My health is deteriorating Still i dine on fantasies unreal I hope for a miracle pill but My flesh may not be able to heal I fear I'll be plagued as long as I Swallow your lies, deranged and uncouth The cure I have been longing for is a simple medicine called Truth

Feast Of Lies
I tasted every bitter lie As you shoved them down my throat Now I'm full of poison-soaked phrases Badly in need of an antidote Lost promises rest in my abdomen Next to the deception I was fed I need a cure for untrue words Before this illness renders me dead Fallacies come crawling back up Venom rising in my windpipe Sick to my stomach with acceptance Your falsehoods have become overripe I can't contain the toxic deceit It's overflowing from my gut Excuses pour out from my mouth Alibis Ive managed to rebut The ***** burns my weary tongue Sour as it leaves my lips Betrayal has me feeling queasy Unwell from hearing your rehearsed scripts My stomach empties it's contents Spewing intricate facades Until it is rid of all the Charades, illusions, and frauds Infected with dishonesty My body is rocked by unease I've taken a turn for the worse Consumed by this relentless disease This virus I have come down with Takes it's toll on my heart and mind I grow more fatigued each day But relief I have yet to find Chills, shakes, soreness, and migraines Plague my organs, bones, and skin My muscles are endlessly cramping I loathe the fever I'm burning in I do not know why I feast on your contaminated reality I'm sure if I continue to I will soon be a fatality My health is deteriorating Still i dine on fantasies unreal I hope for a miracle pill but My flesh may not be able to heal I fear I'll be plagued as long as I Swallow your lies, deranged and uncouth The cure I have been longing for is a simple medicine called Truth
Ignorance is bliss. That may be true but truth is understanding. And what is happiness worth if you do not truly understand it?
