Midnight After Dark

Which one are we hearing a truth or a lie,
Sometimes as you hear them it’s hard to decide.
The truth’s what you tell whenever you want,
The lie is used to hide but often they haunt.

It’s said that the truth can set you free,
But no matter whiche I tell it becomes part of me.
I’ve tried to keep the lies I’ve told minor,
But time to time they’re the size of an airliner.

Most of the time I try to stick to the truth,
But sometimes I lie by the skin of my tooth.
With my friends I’m mostly honest,
But sometimes I dodge events that I’ve promised.

I hope my friends know if they catch me in a lie,
It’s never to harm and just to get by.
When I make plans I do want to go,
But sometimes my darkness just won’t let it be so.
