Hard truths or comfortable lies?

In a world falling apart at the seams

A dark underbelly of broken dreams

Famine, disease, abject stupidity

Modern serfdom, vapid nobility

Growth is progress, consume more

You’re only as good as your net worth

Grow ever increasingly bitter

Sell your labor to the lowest bidder

Do you hear the hard truths or just the comfortable lies?

Lies. Tell them lies

All the little lies that we tell ourselves to get through another day

All the little lies that we tell ourselves to show the world we’re not afraid

All the little lies that we tell each other to avoid resentments

All the little lies that we tell each other to hide our own failings

Do you really want the truth, or shall I tell you more lies?

Do you want to know all the ugly truths of the world we live in?

Would you feel better with grievances laid bare?

Could you sleep at night if you knew how much you’re truly hated?

Would we co-exist without all the little lies we tell?

Hard truths and comfortable lies
