Lies.........

This song was written by the late alternative Christian artist Gene Eugene. He died around 2000 and was in his early 40's. I loved the lyrics as they are so profound.

Trouble With Lies Lyrics by Gene Eugene

They unveil their latest crusade
It's some moral outrage they're stopping
Worldwide, religious arcade
It means their income was dropping
The host looks sincere
Irrelevant facts aren't a part of his career

The trouble with lies
When you tell them you still got to sell them
With the look in your eyes
Oh, that's the trouble with lies
As far as I'm concerned
With the lessons I've learned
I'm determined to try and survive
Without lies

This time it's her out 'til two
He hears the car in the driveway
He wonders what story she'll use
Did she get lost on the highway
He knows what it's like
He had to come up with a good one last night

The trouble with lies
When you tell them you still got to sell them
With the look in your eyes
Oh, that's the trouble with lies
As far as I'm concerned
With the lessons I've learned
I'm determined to try and survive
Without lies

I wish you could just tell the truth
I hear your voice getting nearer
It brings back the crimes of your youth
Avoid your eyes in the mirror
The trouble with lies
Is that you start to forget where the real man hides

The trouble with lies
When you tell them you still got to sell them
With the look in your eyes
Oh, that's the trouble with lies
As far as I'm concerned
With the lessons I've learned
I'm determined to try and survive
Without lies

~While currently working with addicts, they usually are "experts" on three areas: 1) lies, 2) deceit, and 3) cover-up. This is not unlike us. "The trouble with lies is that you start to forget where the real man lies". This is speaks volumes of truth. I have lied....lied to myself....lied to my spouse. I have deceived and covered-up as a means to justify my sins. This blog format is a way of confronting my lies...because most of us would not disclose what we have been doing. Especially to another church member for fear of rejection and judgment. I know....I'm one of you.
