except me, of course

everybody lies - dr gregory house

everybody lies
we lie to ourselves
we lie to our confessor
we lie to the tax man
we lie because we can
and because we can't
help it

everybody lies
we lie out of love
we lie out of spite
we lie about our weight
and what we ate

we lie as an art form
an embellishment
or an abbreviation
of our pain

everybody lies
