You've got lies Like you've got acne Raw and sour They deform the skin of the room Leave scars on its silence Creep unbidden into pores Brand themselves into reflections Hung Ugly as battle wounds On the arpeggios of conversation And you wear your lies Like you wear acne Smothered in pretty chemicals You deliver them like scripted text Into a world of disingenuity The self-affected One-trick-pony of your tongue Plays them down with beauty But fails to remove their aftertaste So please, Feel free to keep talking But I thought you should know That no one's listening any more And we no longer believe in Your cries of 'wolf' Because we know that No matter how you sing your lies The world will not cease to orbit the sun And then re-align itself to you

Liar
You've got lies Like you've got acne Raw and sour They deform the skin of the room Leave scars on its silence Creep unbidden into pores Brand themselves into reflections Hung Ugly as battle wounds On the arpeggios of conversation And you wear your lies Like you wear acne Smothered in pretty chemicals You deliver them like scripted text Into a world of disingenuity The self-affected One-trick-pony of your tongue Plays them down with beauty But fails to remove their aftertaste So please, Feel free to keep talking But I thought you should know That no one's listening any more And we no longer believe in Your cries of 'wolf' Because we know that No matter how you sing your lies The world will not cease to orbit the sun And then re-align itself to you
I wrote this in a burst of anger at break time yesterday for a girl in my class who has been lying for four years straight...
