Taste the water as it comes from my mouth,
Taste the lies as they fall through the cracks.
See the deceit as I laugh around my deck,
See my eyes as they turn laughing at your foolishness.
I care not for your life,
I care only for myself.
You look at me and see a lie,
I look at you and see myself.
You look at you and see the truth,
I look at me and find your lies.
