my mouth is dangerous
smoldering secrets, slinging lies
rehearsing verses to reverse this
perverse truth i have tongue tied
each smile a disguise
a fatal face veiled behind
make believe is real life
charm, disarm, beguile
you donʼt want to know the truth
so donʼt ask for the details
hold my hand and let me lead you down
my dead end bread-crumb trail
until we both are lost
in my sugar-coated fantasy
nothing here is as it seems
iʼve tricked you into loving me
for reasons that donʼt exist
loyalty, purity, innocence
I can not really admit to this -
only to the opposites
no one wants a fake
and no one loves a liar
ours will be the end
to which all endings will aspire
