Another February Album Writing Month (FAWM) prompt. Time limit is one hour. This one took me around 10-15 minutes. I must have had some serious stuff laying deep. :) No way to work on the music now. I'll edit later.
Lies too Deep
Lies too deep
Do you really want to go there?
Fully grown, now buried
Let them continue to lay there.
Buried deep where they need to be.
Buried deep so you can sleep.
Tell one lie then need to tell another
To cover the first.
And so it goes,
Lies growing lies.
Starts like the falling snow,
First one you tell is white,
Just a small little thing
Then you add another
Next thing you know the snow is deep.
Lies too deep
Do you really want to go there?
Fully grown, now buried
Let them continue to lay there.
Buried deep where they need to be.
Buried deep so you can sleep.
You try digging out
Grab that shovel
Instead you build a fortress
Built with more lies.
When the snow melts
Into the thirsty earth
It's too late to take back what's been said
No matter how you try to
Block the gutter.
Lies too deep
Do you really want to go there?
Fully grown, now buried
Let them continue to lay there.
Buried deep where they need to be.
Buried deep so you can sleep.
Lies too deep
You try again to take them back
There's too many layers
Laying too deep.
