Sweet Deception

Laura Gibson

Compositor: Laura Gibson

Sweet deception
Oh cruel, cruel, cruelest comfort
I have known the first
I have known the last
Of your kind

Sweet deception
My one consolation
Shall I find my rest
In the quietest
Of lies

Sweet deception
My best, my best intention
Are you a keeper of names
A bearer of sins
Do you hide yourself
In bones and sin

Oh sweet deception

Sweet deception
Most careless of those
Shall I call your name
Or learn to be
Alone
