If I told you a lie
Would you be that surprised?
If I told you I've been dead
Would you say that I'm well?
If I told you the truth
Would you come for my youth?
If I said you were dumb
Would you fill my cup?
Lies are spoken through teeth
Gold, white, platinum
Coming for you dreams.
Truths are uttered by lips
Believe that I'm smiling
Alive, could never be truly dying.
Right?
