Everybody lies What's the big deal? It's impossible to know what is and isn't sealed Faith is the lies we tell and tell ourselves Life is the lies we tell everybody else History is a daisy chain of lies Humans love distortion Public record is a poetic device Blown way out of all proportion I look at the color red, and say 'red'. Everyone else looks at the color and says 'reddish'. We all say I don't believe it til I see it, But so much happens between light in the eye And assimilation of that data in the consciousness. A symbol beam bending, or Or experienced anomalies Or electrical distortion along the optic nerve. But more mysterious are the magnetic osmotics Sloshing around inside the hi-falutin grey filter switchboard that is brain. Miles of rough road! Vital baggage is tossled gore, tossed off the truck Everyone sees it in a certain way, everyone knows it as only they can know it, And everyone has things that only they can see Understanding breaks down, Gulfs in agreement develop (old Greek domes) Crumble We all define the stuffs and stages of our worlds With terse tags and populist generalities. We all know a rose, is sometimes a rose But what fucking color is it? what fucking color is it Everybody fibs, myths are entertained Delusions are encouraged and/or covertly ingrained Faith is the lies we tell and tell ourselves Life is the lies we tell everybody else Common knowledge is a daisy chain of lies Humans love distortion Civilization is costume revelry, culture by coercion Everybody lies
