Breach of The Tenth Commandment

You think nobody will see,
You think nobody will know.
The evidence isn't your presence,
It's the ghost of you not at home.

Chasing what isn't yours to have,
Chasing daylight into the night.
Penance you'll make in due time,
Transgressions you'll dismiss as your right.

You think you don't need the vows,
You think you can claim him as yours.
Just because He's holding his hand,
You'll hide behind locked doors.

Wanting nobody to see,
Wanting nobody to know.
Displaying a broken key,
Coveting what you cannot ever show.

But your ghosts we all can see,
The truth is there in your eyes.
This charade is growing quite old,
We see and know of your lies.
