Lie to me honestly

I hear, but still, I don't see

Just where the actions meet the words

You just sound the alarm

Racing pulse and boiling blood

At fever-pitch

Another finger-pointing mob

With stones to throw



But if it truly mattered

And if you truly cared

It would be altogether different

Let the sirens scream

But leave me alone to decide

And leave me to what I might find



Starving to understand

You swallowed the lies

Eager to spit them out

To feed the masses

And the guilt they hide



Answer me honestly

No more false transparencies

Just where does motive meet concern?

You just sound the alarm

Spreading fear to bury trust

To distract

Until, lost and scared

Frustration forces blame



Starving to understand

You swallowed the lies

Eager to spit them out

To feed the masses

And the guilt they hide



Answer me honestly

No more false transparencies

Just where does motive meet concern?

You just sound the alarm

Spreading fear to bury trust

To distract

Until, lost and scared

Frustration forces blame



Sound the alarm!

Sound the alarm!

Sound the alarm!

Sound the alarm!



Starving to understand

You swallowed the lies

Choking to spit them out

To rid this guilt inside
