Evil little lies

Told him I loved him
Kissed him on the cheek
But I can't stand him, God, he's dim!
My patience with him won't even last the week.

Snatched my mother's lipstick,
Scrawled swearwords on the wall.
Then went to bed, feigned being sick,
When asked if I did it, I lied, "Not at all"

Went to my sister's wedding
Spilled red wine on her dress.
Sputtered, "I'm sorry" but I was lying,
I did it on purpose, I couldn't have cared less.

Screamed, "Fire! Fire!"
Just to watch the people run.
Well, that guy smoking could've caused one, I'm not really a
liar,
I don't mean any harm, I only do it for fun.

Convinced my little brother by saying
That murderers live next door.
I told him they'll come for him while he's sleeping.
You should've seen him cowering in a ball on the floor.

You wanna know why I do it?
I might say, "I dunno" but I do
It's the devil on my shoulder, by my ear he sits.
He makes me do it&;#8230;don't look at me like that, it's
true!

I can see you don't believe it,
There's disbelief in your eyes.
You're thinking, "why should I trust in this shit?"
"After she's told me so many, many lies?"

well, you know what?
I don't care at all.
Coz I don't need anyone, just need my pot.
Who cares if no one loves me, or ever bothers to call?

You know what else?
I'm lying again.
I can't go on alone, all by myself.
I've got no one's trust &; it causes me a lot of pain.

Could you maybe try to see
Past the stuff he made me say?
Find it in your heart to forgive me, please.
I didn't mean it in that way!

I promise I'll change,
Make everything better.
Cross my heart, I'll do nothing strange,
I'll be the perfect example setter.

The devil on my shoulder,
He smans and says:
"Well done, my little slave, your lies couldn't be better"
"You're doing very well, I think I'll stay a few more days!"

"Please, no!" I think,
I don't want this no more.
Maybe I can get rid of him through a shrink?
Perhaps somehow, I can push him out the door?

But once you let the devil in,
He'll never leave, no matter how you shriek.
He relishes in his power over how much you sin,
He's repelled by the strong, he feeds on the weak.

Always turn to the Lord
Bask in the light He lets you see.
He'll keep you warm, protect you from the cold.
Stick to your commandments, and you won't end up like me&;#8230;
