By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.

Invisible Tool
I love my invisible tool,
It shapeshifts into many forms and its damn cool,
It follows me everywhere i go,
if anyone asks a trade for it, i'll say 'no, '
I am lucky i used it in the graduation mass,
And hell yes, it saved my ass.
My invisible tool is so damn invisible,
it is no doubt the most invincible!
I believe everyone has their own invisible tool,
and each of us can only feel our own tool,
As for me, my invisible tool is my cour,
I am so happy i wanted to buy a whore!

Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

Tool
You think that “the tool” doesn’t have a feeling or
doesn’t have a right to feel
So you can use it whatever you like
But the truth is, it has its own resistance
If you treat the tool in the wrong way
It will be broken or it will rebel against you
And it will show to everyone how you treat other people

Visor'd
A MASK--a perpetual natural disguiser of herself,
Concealing her face, concealing her form,
Changes and transformations every hour, every moment,
Falling upon her even when she sleeps.

But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.

Shudder
So sad to everyone
Did not occur to you
Wake up an empty shell
Someone to crawl into
Dead days refuse to dream
The blanket still asleep
Concealing every flaw
Till you uncover me
Could it be that Im fading far away
Straight out of it
No truth I can confirm
No truth that I can sense
Passing time I cant recall
The truth it surfaces
Open eyes open heart
Open up and fall apart
Ill be that burden you bear

Deceit They Perceive Is Hidden
I have never believed,
I was always right.
Or believed my opinions expressed,
Were the best.
No! An operating done on fumes of ego,
Is such a waste of reality.
And seeking excuses to make for my actions,
Is too exhausting for my peace of mind.
And there are more offended,
By the appearance of truth.
Than they are disrespecting someone,
With a deceit they perceive is hidden from others.
And the concealing of truth is difficult to do,
For anyone keeping it with them to introduce.
Since a truth introduced is not to be disputed.
It is what it is to defeat deceit each and every time.

Concealing truth is like wearing embroidered clothes and traveling by night.
(V - 2009) The Truth of the Truth
The Sages and Seers
That be and have been
Cannot have seen
The truth of the Truth!
What they see as Truth
Is Truth merely
It’s not really
The truth of the Truth!
The Ultimate Truth
Cannot be known
We aren’t that grown –
The truth of the Truth!
We’re part of the Truth
We’re trying to see
We’re yet so tiny –
The truth of the Truth!
Though hard and great
The pains we give
We cannot outlive
The truth of the Truth!
What’s Truth to you once
Remains not the same
So changing the game –
The truth of the Truth!
What’s Truth to a man
Is not Truth to all
That’s what we call
The truth of the Truth!
These thoughts as I pen
It’s Truth to me
It’s to me only
The truth of the Truth!
Will The Truth Come Out One Day?
Will the truth come out one day?
Is what has happened wrong?
Our paths crossed in a funny way
To you I have nothing to say
But with you it's our secret all along
Will the truth come out one day?
If caught, a bad mood you'll display
But our concealing is strong
Our paths crossed in a funny way
I feel bad 'cause with you I didn't stay
But we weren't seeing each other for that long
Will the truth come out one day?
I'm glad it was under you I lay
Because my feelings for him have gone
Our paths crossed in a funny way
From this will I have to pay?
But i'm glad this is still going on
Will the truth come out one day?
Our paths crossed in a funny way

Also, they don't understand - writing is language. The use of language. The language to create image, the language to create drama. It requires a skill of learning how to use language.

You Are Deserving Of The Best
Turn around and look at me.
Nothing on my face expresses,
I've come to you with a concealing message.
I did not appear here expecting forgiveness.
I came to you wanting to,
Show my respect.
I take full responsibility,
For the neglect I had shown...
When then I left.
Please,
Turn around and look at me.
Nothing on my face expresses,
I've come to you with a concealing message.
I want to reveal to you,
My immaturity has gone.
I came back to town to let you know...
No matter what has happened,
Between us...
I want you to hear me say,
It was me...
Not you,
Who had been the one wrong!
I've been wanting to tell you that,
For so very long.
Turn around and look at me.
Please?
Nothing on my face expresses,
I've come to you with a concealing message.
If I have to deliver it on my knees,
I will.
Only happiness in your life,
I wish for you to seek and fulfill.
I've come to you to express my respect.
And to let you know,
You are deserving of the best...
Of what life has to offer.

T.r.u.t.h.
Temptation, fatuation, copulation, lust
these are the tempting earthly rewards
short termed and deadly up from the dust
Revelation, adoration, inspiration, love
these are the things that reside in us
floating from the wings of the dove
Understanding, compassion, mercy, life
these are the pearls sent from above
so we can overcome all of the strife
Tribulation, restitution, institution, loss
these are the bonds that divide us all up
chained to our ankles all cluttered and rough
Truth is our weapon to fight against sin
Truth is our charm to draw men to Him
Truth is our tool to use for to teach
Truth is our Saviour, who reigns for all keeps
Let us stand in TRUTH

Concealing the Truth
This is what you care about...
I don't mention your flaws.
I pretend your insecurities don't exist.
And when we are in public,
I am to act as if everything you do is fantastic.
No matter how miserable concealing the truth makes me.

Haste
Haste is bargained for trust
As love of hesitation is big.
You create a talking tool
For your haste to be wept
So that our words are leapt
And the language is lingo for disaster.
