Winner Takes All

Hate dresses up like a lover

Smiles, a disguise

Trying to cover

Lies, lies, lies

The physical attraction

When two liars meet

Can seem like the real thing

But when liars compete

…there is no winner

They are both beat

Playing the game of

Cheat, cheat, cheat

Is there any redemption

After The Fall?

Ah, yes, forgiveness

Trumps it all
