The truth is on the evening news.
There's wisdom in my children's eyes.
I know the game, I've read the rules
designed by intellectual fools.
Tonight I need my lover's lies!

Lie to me my darling
tell me you are mine
that you'll stay forever
until the end of time.

Tell me that the moon and stars
set in these southern skies
are only there for me to see
myself, through your bright eyes.

Fill me, thrill me, with your lies
until reality
blurs into the vestige cache
of faded memories.

The wise say "TRUTH SHALL SET ME FREE"

The truth is on the evening news.
There's wisdom in my children's eyes
I know the game...

Welcome to Pip.

I liked, very much the way this wrapped around full circle. Your final stanza completed the thought, thoughtfully.

and I've got this thing 'bout thinkin'...

Enjoyed.
