We do not want the truth.
We want to hear what will
answer our questions
in a way that will help us
fill the slots
Fit into the slots
So that we can meet
The quota
We do not want the truth
We want the answers
That will make comfortable
With who you are
Do not tell us the truth
Make us feel better
We do not want the truth
Since it may make us
Uncomfortable and unsure
Of what to do with what is coming
To us.
We do not want the truth
Tell us the truth
We do not want the truth
It is too hard to digest
It does fit the myths we
Want to believe in and the way
We see you and the reasons we
Like you
And want you to stay
Tell me the truth
I do not want the truth
For the story may not fit the
Picture-life that I made for you
When I met you
It may not fit what I hope you
Will be for me
Tell me the truth
I do not want the truth
Tell me what I want to hear
So that you will fit into
My reality
And help me keep my sanity
Tell me the truth
I do not want the truth
For I fear that you will find
A way to not approve of me
To not love me
To not stay with me
Tell me the truth
I do not want the truth
Because I want to know
That you want to know
That I will stay with you
And you with me.
