Come to me
And hear what
I whisper
I whisper
The truth
The words
Coming from my lips
Word after word
Within many
Hear what I whisper
The truth
In your ear
The lies
Dance around
Choose what
You want
To hear
My truth?
Or their lies?

We all tire of hearing the lies now a days, but what of the truth? Who speaks that? It should be us, but it never is.
