in all seriousness (3.28.2015)

imagine the last time someone, in all seriousness, began a conversation with you using the words "Given the stakes...", and then lie to me. 
imagine the last time someone, in all seriousness, began a conversation with you using only positive words, and not complaints, and then lie to me.
imagine, in all seriousness, the reverse of that scenario, and then lie to me.
let's just keep on lying to eachother, because to do otherwise...
let's just keep on lying to eachother, because it's easier with lies...
I imagine, that's it's not so hard to imagine such a place, 
when the world in which you wake, in all seriousness, 
wears your own face.
let's just keep on lying to eachother, because to do otherwise...
let's just keep on lying to eachother, because it's easier with lies...
