Analysis of The lies you spread

Toni Dulaney 1989 (Ohio)



I use to trust others until the lies grew,
Thinking they were slick but I already knew.
The world they built was make believe,
Still acting like a magician with a trick up their sleeve.
Never caring that the lies they cut deep,
Standing over you watching the pain seep.
Steady claiming the realest of real,
You leave all of your lies with others think about how they feel.
You rip apart friends destroying everything in your way,
When your done not one bond is left to stay.
Will enough ever be enough,
Im Tired of this madness i'll call your bluff.
