Full Disclosure

I vow to come clean

By Chris ZPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read
Full disclosure / if you really want to know / just take me by the hand / and I’ll tell you so.

Full Disclosure

Your fair-weather friends /

Flew south for the season.

Their migration second nature /

Still, it smacked of treason.

Full disclosure

I vow to come clean

To mean what I say

And to say what I mean.

Alone and restless /

You walk the edge of a knife;

You're livin' it like Murphy’s Law /

has become your lot in life.

Full disclosure

I vow to come clean

To mean what I say

And to say what I mean.

Full disclosure

if you really want to know

Just take me by the hand,

And I’ll tell you so.
