I wish a lie was just another funny truth,
But it’s not,
The chains that tied it to the floor,
Left nothing but cankered knots,
And when the sailors hauled her up the side of the dock,
They found something that only vile could mock,
They bore a cry that wailed a thousand deviled shivers across,
A wave that started up so small became a chorus of foul applause,
The masterpiece of deception had not only a life,
But took on more and more as miles it had grown from its hive,
So there they lay on the shore waiting to hear,
The things that ruin them they once thought were dear.
