A prophet took my hand on old souls day 
 He preached the value of deception 
 Changing shadows by shape shifters rules 
 Tales are never just for fools 
    The court of conscience came before me 
 Presented me with a heavenly angel 
 He took my hand and asked me truths aside 
 To his questions I replied   
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful? 
 Just close your eyes and make believe 
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful? 
 I am happy to decieve you   
 He stood as tall as redwood trees 
 Drank tea from a seamstress' thimble 
 I didn't want to speak the honest truth 
 So I spit out lies that aim to soothe   
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful? 
 Just close your eyes and make believe 
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful? 
 I am happy to decieve you   
 Sacred lies and telling tales 
 I can be who you want me to be 
 Sacred lies and telling tales 
 I can be who you want me to be 
 But do you want me?   
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful? 
 Just close your eyes and make believe 
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful? 
 I am happy to decieve you   
 Sacred lies and telling tales 
 I can be who you want me to be 
 Sacred lies and telling tales 
 I can be who you want me to be 
 But do you want me?
