why is it called?

living a lie

sounds more like death to me

we murder the truth inside

hoping no one hears the screams

why is it called?

living a lie

sounds more like death to me

because we publicly smile

yet privately mourn

as the spirit is euthanized repeatedly

why is it called?

living a lie

sounds more like death to me

secrets are buried alive

praying no one disturbs the grave

just let the truth Rest In Peace

but there will be no peace

because we are

living a lie and

that is a slow torturous death indeed

but our souls are the deceased
