This here is my truth. It's raw, scarred flesh A disgrace to look upon, But this maggot-infested truth Is mine. Yours, my sweet-tempered lover, Lies elsewhere, In the midst of glorious joy That everyone longs for. Your truth, my honey-eyed darling, Is one to be accepted with open arms, Unlike mine Which must be accepted only under the harshest conditions. This is my truth: I am not who I say I am.

I Am A Lie
This here is my truth. It's raw, scarred flesh A disgrace to look upon, But this maggot-infested truth Is mine. Yours, my sweet-tempered lover, Lies elsewhere, In the midst of glorious joy That everyone longs for. Your truth, my honey-eyed darling, Is one to be accepted with open arms, Unlike mine Which must be accepted only under the harshest conditions. This is my truth: I am not who I say I am.
