Could You Lie?

You’re saying to me what you hear
From all the people cursing in your ear
Trying out the possibilities of finding in me
My worst sense of fear now you’re a coward
And you’re much too tense and you’re afraid
You jump at my pretense but could you lie, if your life would end?
Could you lie, I don’t think you can
When you’re sleeping premonitions of the worst kind
Come creeping from your mind
So you slam the bedroom door from all the things
That may have come and then you hide
Now you’re confused and you sleep much too late
You try to drink, but you don’t like the taste, but could you lie?
You will on your first date rape
Now you’re trapped into an alleyway
You’re covered in a box and soaked with rain
When you think about the food your mother made
When you were young you go insane
Maybe this could go another way, do you want to live another day?
