They all claim to be so honest
The words they say, they really believe
So practiced are they in storytelling
Of real honesty they cannot conceive
The truth splinters around them like shattered glass
And they carefully select which parts of the story to tell
Priding themselves on their ability
To deceive others so well
But their deceptions are not flawless
The pieces never really seem to fit
Gaps and inconsistencies in the story
Lead others to question it
And with every piece that is missing
Or deliberately left out to save face
Another piece of my trust is lost
That cannot be replaced
