I stepped inside and stopped for a second.
A second to take it all in,
A second to take a look,
A second to read the pages.

What lay ahead was a sea,
A sea of lies,
With truth on rapidly sinking stones,
Sinking in the sea,
The sea of lies.

Boats of honesty and those of trust,
And boats of love and those of loyalty
Capsized in the sea,
The sea of deceit,
The sea of lies.

A sky of presence and greed and avarice
Watched over the sea,
The sea of evil, with no lighthouse,
The sea with water ever so fickle,
The sea of lies, and the sea of lies.

With a fake smile and more masquerade,
I drowned the sinking stones
And walked on the sea,
The sea of façade,
The sea of lies, and the sea of lies.
