Deceit, such an ugly word
It’s when people cant believe a word that they’ve heard
When our gambling we’ve tried to hide
It’s hard to remember how much we’ve lied
Lies of fact – “I Wasn’t there”
“I didn’t gamble” I didn’t care.
Deciet though has many forms,
Those lies of fact are just one of it’s norms
For all the times that we may have lied
Another deceit is the things that we hide
The bills, the letters and those debts
Hiding the mail, feeling closed in by the net
Hiding the statements, all bank accounts
If they know that we gamble. we cant say the amount
There comes a time though it all closes in
And true recovery can only begin
When we replace our lies, and all that deceit
And replace them with two words that are the opposite
Honesty and openness might be hard to do
But they help a lot and are prettier too.
