| common lies
all the abuses we hide each time we close our eyes sometimes I just want to scream or just upset the plan for I see too much madness in the common ways of man and they would call me mad man too different to be real and they would call me bad man because they're afraid to feel so they'd rather bury themselves in their common lies bowing to false power in ornate plastic disguise they'd rather destroy themselves with deadly escapes like a man who blames his hatred on the woman he rapes and they would call me evil for I would speak the truth and they would call me devil for I would love their youth and of course everybody has their rules and their reasons for ignoring or destroying what they don't understand but committing social suicide with acceptable poisons can not be what any good higher power had planned give god a break, stop blaming him take responsibility for what you do give me a break, it is no sin to seek and expose what is true haven't we had enough of the common lies don't you ever get tired of closing your eyes if I turned over your great alters just to help you see would you believe your own eyes or would you attack me or would you then ask me to set you free? I'd rather be called mad man and ostracized or scorned so if you'd call me bad man at least you have been warned I don't want you to trust me if you don't trust yourself they answers I want to see are not in books on your shelves they're in the truths that you hide from yourselves they're in the secrets that you never tell they're in the lives you live between your heaven and your hell the answers I seek are not found in your common lies they are found in the reasons you use to close your eyes but you've got your defenses so acceptable and strong that my questions give you cause to say I don't belong so you can call me mad man or evil or just strange or you can call me bad man for I want you to change or you can call me sad man for I feel all your fear and if I am a mad man you don't have to care you can lose your self respect in your common lies and pretend your self-esteem is real behind your disguise and ignore all the abuse you support in all you do nobody will call you wrong because they are all like you and don't worry about it for you have done it before you can bury the truth well you can always start a war you don't have to face the truth you can shirk responsibility and if I offend you you can just blame it on me and if someone like Jesus came to seek truth and transcend and expose your common lies you can say god bless and amen and then crucify him once again you can bury anything in your common lies so acceptable to hide and close your eyes call the truth seeker a mad man call the exposer a bad man and in the end you can feign great surprise when you finally admit your common lies b r e a t h e |
