Sweet Speak Lyrics

In the office, they're all smiles

But there's a dagger in their hand

They praise you to your face

Then they curse you with their plans

In the boardroom, in the hallway

It's a game they love to play

Sweet words mask the meaning

Hiding a heart of rage

Sweet speak, sweet speak

Words that twist and turn

Honey-coated promises

But you'll end up getting burned

Sweet speak, sweet speak

Watch out for the lies

In a world of pretty phrases

You can see it in their eyes

In the marketplace, they're charming

Selling dreams that turn to rust

They promise you a mountain

But all you get is dust

In the church, they preach of love

But their pockets are the goal

Give everything you've got

And they'll still demand your soul

Sweet speak, sweet speak

Words that twist and turn

Honey-coated promises

But you'll end up getting burned

Sweet speak, sweet speak

Watch out for the lies

In a world of pretty phrases

You can see it in their eyes

In your home, it's the hardest

When the truth is pushed away

Family should be honest

But sweet speak leads you astray

If your heart is troubled

And rage is all you feel

Don't lash out at the others

Keep those words sealed

Sweet speak, sweet speak

Words that twist and turn

Honey-coated promises

But you'll end up burned

Sweet speak, sweet speak

Watch out for the lies

In a world of pretty phrases

You can see it in their eyes

So if you're full of anger

And words are hard to gauge

Don't take it out on others

Keep those words in a cage

Sweet speak is a poison

In a world that's full of pain

Find the strength to rise above

And in His light remain

And in His light remain
