NO WAY OUT
Between desire and temptation we lose our way,
we fall off the track almost every day,
daily the darkness draws us further down,
as we try and cover our tracks like a circus clown.
Embarrassment and shame prevents us coming clean,
we consider what it would do to our family's dream,
trusted and believed in to do what is right,
what shock it would be to find us in the night.
So we lie and deceive to cover our tracks up,
choose the lesser of the two evils with which to jump,
make the best of what we have,
become so entangled we have to laugh.
But, the crunch will come when we hit it a dead end,
it all comes falling onto our heads,
so the sooner we let the cat out the bag,
the better it is as it won't make us gag.
