Kit Kelen #1192 - fake


1192
fake


he made up a story
that it was all a story made up

he, they or the machine
made up such a story

lied that the others had lied

the sky was falling
so we build a wall
you know how that is

he stole from you
said the others stole

I’m telling you this
I believe you’ll believe
when I tell you it’s true
I’m telling you

I know you know who you can trust
who you can’t

all a story made up

he, they or the machine
made up such a story

white
and brushed under

it was a burnished lie
triumphant
one for the mantelpiece
no one would know
the lie in plain sight

lied that the others had

lied
and the lie got bigger
sort of thing would set you free

someone come to tell us

lied the way an animal would
the way God lies to His chosen

He made up the story we are
that we’d made up the story

that all it was was a story made up
that all of us were liars

he worked out
what money can buy

that’s how he bought us off

honestly
(that’s how I always begin)

he, they or the machine
made up such a story

no one will ever know

truth was an idea in God’s head once
(here we flicker in a cave)

God filled up with the laughing gas
and God has drifted away
