Biggest Sin

By M. Jay Mansfield

My biggest sin is being real
Million dollar lies are easy to love
By god don’t actually feel
Lie there like a snake full of cold blood

some reason I care to much
How did I ever get in this shape
who taught me to give this much
I wish I could bury them in my hate

My biggest sin is being real
How was I suppose to know
It’s only the art of the deal
It’s the smoke and mirrors part of the show

What demon taught me to care
my blood boils on the surface
My skin to thin to save me here
Love soaked in eternal malice

My biggest sin was being real
I’ll teach myself not to care
I’ll kill the self that loves to feel
They’ll love me once I’m there
