Lies

People have different motives for lying. Some lie because they don't want to get caught, others lie just to be malicious, and still there are those that lie simply because they like to spin their own reality. whatever the case may be the fact still remains that we all lie. We lie to each other and we lie to ourselves. Interesting fact come out today in my psychology class. On average a person lies to themselves or to others at a minimum of twenty-five times a day. My professor went on to say that the people who are the most validated in our society are the people who are the best liars.
But lets continue to focus on motive. Be honest with yourself when I ask: have you ever lied hoping that you would get caught? Let's say you had a bad day and a friend asks what's wrong. You tell them you are fine...which really means that you are freaked insecure neurotic and emotional...far from fine. But deep down people beg for comfort. It intrigues me that people want to get caught in their lies. I do the same thing. We all do. What would happen if we stopped hiding our hurt or confusion? I have no idea because I am one of the most confused people ever to walk this earth. But what would happen if someone dared to see through all of that? Or more importantly, what would happen if we were all honest to a fault...especially with ourselves?
Anyway, just some ramblings on things that I've noticed. I came across a song (I know...I listen to music WAY too much but it speaks to me so I can't stop...)that spoke to this situation. but you have to realize, I direct it more towards myself than to others. (I need to put that disclaimer out there.) anyway here it is. It's Shiny Toy Guns, Chemistry of a Car Crash.

You're waking up
A part of me i've never known.
And i've never felt
So invincible.
What took you so far away?

You're lost for tonight again,
That's what you wanted?
Your arms to your side again..

Just take away the words i say
Cause i know
That you don't feel the same.
Just go and say
What's in your head
And i won't try to stop you.

You hold the rights i'll never own.
And i've never felt
So alien.
Don't tear us apart again.

What is the use of it?
We're ok. it's nothing . .
It's the chemistry of a car crash.

And i won't try so you'll stay
This time.
I won't try
And i won't change.
This time i won't try
To stop you.
