Why Not Lie?

I have put myself into position
I don't really care which way this goes
Seemed to me there couldn't be
A way that I would end up going home disappointed
How does this even work?

You can pry it open with a smile
But I have learned to never show my hand
Even more so when I'm dealt
Nothing but the blank cards of indifference

I am not joining this facade
I'm building a new standard
One I'm hoping will be widely accepted

Why not lie?
At every chance you get
Build a reputation
And then everyone will know what is expected

Attempts to pull it closer will make it distant
Know that there's a place where we reside
Aren't we all just as clever
As we can convincingly betray ourselves to be?

Never telegraph your destination
Check your six, lose the tails
Right, now, follow me
We're getting nowhere through the best shortcut I know

Build a reputation
And then everyone will know
What is the point you're trying to make
I couldn't fake it any harder if I tried

Never telegraph your destination
Check your six, lose the tails
Right, now, follow me
We're getting nowhere through the best shortcut I know
