Rise Up and Deny

Pinning rumour to the page,

Doesn't turn it into truth.

Unleash the critic from his cage,

To steal my words and twist them round

Into a broken lie,

The story soon gets overblown.

I won't rise up and deny,

The accusations you have thrown at me.

Turning all the things I said,

Into something new.

You took the other side instead,

stole my trust and showed the world just



who I could rely on

The truth is out at last,

I won't rise up and deny,

The opportunities that pass my way.


Once for sorrow,

Two for pain,

And tomorrow,

I'll be coming round again.
