fruit of the lie

in the marketplace of dreams  

where colors shine so bright  

there's a story in the seams  

of fruits in neon light

the apple's crimson whisper  

the orange's sunny plea  

a promise to the listener  

of sweet eternity

oh, the fruit of the lie  

in the garden of deceit  

with every bite i try  

the truth slips from my feet

in the orchard of desire  

where illusions grow so sweet  

i'm tangled in the wire  

of fruit i long to eat

the pear in golden armor  

sings songs of promised bliss  

while grapes in royal splendor  

hide secrets in their kiss

bananas, bright and cheerful  

their smiles a grand charade  

in their laughter, i'm fearful  

of the game that's been portrayed

oh, the fruit of the lie  

in the garden of deceit  

with every bite i try  

the truth slips from my feet

in the shadows of the grove  

where honesty is rare  

i seek the seeds of truth and love  

beyond the fragrant air

for every lie that’s told in light  

a deeper truth remains  

in the darkness of the night  

where real fruit bears its chains

oh, the fruit of the lie  

in the garden of deceit  

with every bite i try  

the truth slips from my feet

so i wander through the market  

with eyes that see the ruse  

in every shiny target  

i find the path i choose

for in the world of fruit and fame  

the truth is hard to see  

but i'll escape the game  

and find what's meant for me
