CONSPIRACY
we're together in this conspiracy
telling each other the same untruths
and makebelieves
[telling each other that what we have is real]
we both know that
i'm not really in love with you
and you're not really in love with me
[but the pretence is so much better than the truth]
we both want to have someone
we both want to feel wanted
we both want to be a little closer to that thing they call 'love'
[and in the materialistic world of today
a fake is always cheaper than the real thing]
the heart will always be the worst kind of liar
since you want to believe it when you know
it's wrong
[and even with the upgraded artificial heart i bought
when my last one shut down
it still has the same fault]
sometimes, with you,
i can even imagine what that
you really do love me
[truth is i'm the best kind of liar
i lie to myself]
but lying awake at night
with a blackhole space on the bed beside me
i can see it's just a story
[for whatever reason,
fiction will always shine a little brighter than fact]
our untruths are the kind that glitter
and although we know they're not gold
we need to believe we have something
[even just half-truths and half-lies]
in this day and age, darling
you've got to make do
with whatever you've got
