Shiny Lies
Take off your mask
Show me your real self
Tell me about your broken heart
And your failing health
Take off your make up
And show me your scars
I don’t want to see your Facebook page
Or your shiny cars
I know you’ve lived for many years
So I know you’ve shed so many tears
I really don’t want the thin veneer
But most don’t care to volunteer
Take off the happy , shiny face
Give me just a little tiny taste
Just a little flavor of the real
I couldn’t handle a whole meal
But I love you and i really want to know
When you’re feeling kind of low
I can see it behind your eyes
But all I’m getting is shiny lies
