i don't want to tell lies

I don’t want to tell lies

I know it is easy to say

But I find I have to

It’s like a demon saying to me

I don’t want to spin my tales

I have no reason to say

I live by the scriptures

I pray so many times in a day

When I am alone

I hear the knocking in my head

What am I supposed to do?

Pretend I am a normal person?

I don’t want to tell lies

I know it is easy to say

When I am alone

I hear the knocking in my head

I will say the worst lies

I don’t tell how I get the money

I will tell the donation drive

I seem to get it well

Until the day I fall

From the height to the ground

I break my rhythm

I am never the same

Now I use to tell

Everything seems to flow out of me

I have no way to stop it

Yet I have to tell lies

I don’t want to tell lies

I know it is easy to say

But I know I have to

The knocking in my head
