"LET'S BE HONEST"

Written 2017-06-15

Let's be honest

You're aching for a paradise

not this wretched world

where we all stand on this dying earth

Let's be honest

Your souls have been restless

Your faith's always tested

but there are times you're just jaded

Let's be honest

when you choose to meddle in personal businesses

the shady affairs of others

just to make yourselves feel more superior

Come on,

let's just open up

and get it over with

Empty slogans

like your empty pockets

You're only motivated by greed

For once in our very short lives

please, just be honest

Would you wish to spend the rest of eternity

checking out other people's morality?

I don't blame you

if it's for money

Perhaps you're just hungry

but don't you dare tell me

you're holier-than-thou

Be honest

even if it's not always the best

It's still a policy

even when you'd rather pretend

as anyone can be...
