Uncontrolled Lies

Secrets are everywhere, you can't see them
The mask we wear makes them hidden
Yet it makes us spill foul, sweet but bitter tales
Some are successful and some fails.
Those words pour out with a slip of a tongue
Like how blood goes through your lung
Could it be for a secret kept out of pity
Could it be for the sake of popularity.
Either way, it can be seen to be wrong
Even if it was from the words of a white pretty song
White lies are said to be of good nature
But victims see them as ill nature.
Such words tearing out from our soul in cries
Only to be heard as uncontrolled lies.
