"The truth will set you free."

Last thing I want to be doing is telling the truth.

I get by on lies, survive by cheating my way through life and looking people dead in the eye and telling them everything they’ve ever wanted to hear. Of course, sometimes I’ll tell the truth but only usually when I want someone to understand the amount of shit they’re in.

Truth is overrated, only worth something when you actually mean it and you ain’t got it wrapped up in about a dozen other half truths.

The only people I know that tell you the truth are kids, well kids that have been lucky enough to be afforded a privilege like that. Other kids, they can lie through their teeth just like I did when the teachers at school asked about the bruises.

The thing about telling the truth, you got to know when to do it and when to hold your tongue. Course I’ve been holding my tongue so long that I don’t think I’d even know truth if it came up and smacked me in the face.

So can this ‘the truth will set you free’ bullshit because all it does is get you into more trouble than you can handle.
