In Truth

In Truth

This is the only way

I know how to start

In Truth

Not whether you lie or steal

But your innermost tell

You keep sharing with yourself

This is the only way

To keep score with your heart and mind

To keep score with the softness of your soul

What are you saying to keep your life safe?

To keep the keys to your shame hidden.

This is the only way

You promise to do no harm yet

Inside you charred memories breathe

And those lights won’t stay on

While you break out of another cell.
