"a system of linked sounds" - [poetry dump]

lies (eng)

music maker
please tell me a lie
make me sway away to heaven
to forget myself
and this cruel world
but don't you worry about me

I beg you
tell me all is well
tell me I can live
in this world
where everything is perfect
and all is forgotten

lie to me all you can
tell me every untruthful word
you've ever wanted to say
but use your brain
think it through
think about what I've done to you
and worry about peace

worry about me, please

please tell me
one lie to protect
one to stop the ache
one to kiss it better
and one slithering lie
for your own sake

I dont care what you say
just please not the truth

because truths
as known by all
always reveal
everything you don't want to hear
so please tell me
you don't want me near
