Honestly?

Lyrics

I have a secret. Though I will not lie, I’ll be honest and I’ll keep it. That just seems very wise. Darkness is a thing. That’s been around the world. Light we still do bring, but it’s slow and it’s swirled. What do I need do to dig out the light? What do I need say to call out the right? I do have a secret, but I will not lie. I’ll be honest and I’ll keep it For that seems very wise. Humble? That I’m not. You’ll always know all my thoughts. I hate to lie. I’ll tell the truth. You know why? So I won’t lose. A liar will just end up caught. An honest man will almost not. Speak the truth, speak your mind, As long as it’s the proper time. Can’t tell the truth just ask a question. Make them answer, no exceptions. Benefits, they’re all the rage. Lying keeps you in a cage. Just shut your mouth and don’t you fret. Honestly, you won’t regret. A woman came to me dressed in red. I won't forget what she said. It was a deal I couldn't refuse. I didn't see how I could lose. Now I'm here on this street And on my bones there's little meat. Oh, I warn you now my friend, Honesty is just pretend. For one king can win many fights, But for a war one needs knights. So let me ask, would you desire To fight in war for a liar? Honesty is but a tool For "noble" men to secure their rule. Even when a life's in danger No one cares for a stranger. All these truths are hollow shells. Our lives but prison cells. Who's power reigns supreme in here? Who makes us cry? Who makes us fear? If you’re all trying to be kind. Then everybody’s deaf and blind! Everything is based on greed who we fight and who we feed. For who we care, for who we don't. With who we share, with who we won't. All these people they're just tools. A way to prove that we're not fools. We're worse than fools, can't you tell? The world you love has gone to hell. All of us, we trick, we hide. We belong by the devil's side.
