Spirit of lying

Spill it, Spill it

They will believe it

I did, I did spill it

I couldn't control it

Felt guilty inside me

What the point of deceiving thee

The truth would have set me free

Now this guilt won't let me be

I won't do it again

Cos there is by no gain

The guilt is already a pain

Worse than the feared cane

But I still lie

No matter how hard I try

I always ask myself why

Can't I stop the spirit of lies
