I only have eyes for the prize of true colors
No time for suprise, or the lies you do to others
To me, manipulation's the same as dark magic
The victim's spellbound, when it's over, they start to panic
You cause them to see and hear things that aren't real
Like a hallucination, only charming, with more appeal
But when they find out everything they believed was false
Their whole world's upside-down, and they're emotionally lost
The spoken word is a powerful thing to behold
It builds very strong connections to the heart and the soul
But while some use it to teach, love, and uplift
Some people just use it to rob others of their gifts
Wolves in sheeps clothes come in all shapes and sizes
Male, female, black, white, and all guises
So never be fooled by a handsome or pretty face
That demon might scheme to have your virginity erased
Or it can be a woman with the face of angel
With ulterior motives to just use, abuse and play you
The point i'm trying to make is trust's a difficult thing
In this day and age, where so many are living in sin
It's important to really see straight to the heart of the person
Not everybody's what they appear, some are just worse
Some are actually very good at heart, you'd never know
But just trusting the surface is a horrible way to go
So if you seek to build a connection, just give it time
Let them expose themselves, let their true nature unwind
Pay attention to what they say, and their patterns of behavior
Or when people flatter you and then ask you a favor
Look out for things that don't add up and contradictions
If that's the case, it may just be a whole lot of fiction
They think they're such clever schemers that never really show it
But a liar will tell on themself, and never even know it
This isn't to make you live in fear, or paranoid
Just protect your heart, or it'll be shattered and destroyed
But if that person's honest and loyal in the end
Keep them around, they'd make a great lover or a friend
A trustworthy person is a hard thing to find
Someone with a very pure heart, and a clean mind
But if your vision is clear, you'll ultimately discover
That the most beautiful thing in the world are true colors.
