Funny how a lie can get in your head
In the back of your mind sinking like lead
Subtle as webs and sticky as sap
Til water is poured and God gives you a slap
Funny as death how such poison is fed
I think it over while lying in bed
A blindness that soaks right into the soul
Cutting me open while I'm thinking I'm whole
Funny indeed to the devil that laughs
At this fool's stumblings, bleedings, and gaffes
While speaking and moving as if nothing is wrong
The laugh of the cruel rings out like a gong
Yet that laugh rang hollow and had its last fill
At the man who walked, broken, up Calvary Hill
Who offers me real food and gives me real drink
And a peace that comforts and allows me to think
God bless,
