Reasons To Lie

I know I’m selfish.

I know that I don’t deserve half this

But I take it all in with my smile.

 

I know you know that I’m lying

Convincing yourself that I’m trying

To be better; better than you think I am

 

You ask all of the right questions

Lead me in the right directions

But I’m not thirsty like a good horse should be.

 

Oh..

The truth.

The truth

Is sad sometimes.

The truth is sad sometimes.

Maybe that’s why

We find reasons to lie.

 

I know I’m stupid

You make me feel like I’m worth this,

Shaking my head all the while.

 

I know I’ve got the worst timing,

Leaving right when you’re dying,

But I shouldn’t be near your bed.

 

Sometimes I ask for mercy,

Sometimes I want you to need me,

Then I realize I’m nothing you should need.

 

Oh..

The truth.

The truth

Is sad sometimes.

The truth is sad sometimes.

Maybe that’s why

We find reasons to lie.

 

I saved all mine for you,

Had the plan but couldn’t execute,

These heart beats getting quicker cause I know.

 

This is how it ends,

How I finally win,

By showing you you are the only thing to me that is true…

 

Oh..

The truth.

The truth

Is sad sometimes.

The truth is sad sometimes.

Maybe that’s why

We find reasons to lie.

Demons

It’s the balance of reality and fiction.

Between familiarity and stranger.

When demons speak the speak the tongues of saints,

And angels strangle with their halos.

 

Deception.

Appearance.

Reality.

Eagerness to believe.

I dare you to,

I dare you to

Trust what you see.

 

It’s the balance of expectations and anticipation.

Between push and shove.

When demons speak the tongues of saints,

And kiss you gently on the forehead.

 

Deception.

Appearance.

Reality.

Eagerness to believe.

I dare you to,

I dare you to

Trust what you see.

 

Am I what you think I am?

Are you what I think you are?

Am I what I think I am?

 

Deception.

Appearance.

Reality.

Eagerness to believe.

I dare you to,

I dare you to

Trust what you see.

Won’t Heal

Your legs are broken,

Were they not I’d ask you where you stand.

It’s complicated.

You’re comprising all your oxygen.

Time to focus.

You lost the way and burned the map.

You dig it deeper,

To make believe that there was never a gap.

 

Somebody, somebody

Hear me

When I say, When I say

This wound

Wont heal

On its own

You’ll see.

 

I see the blood loss,

That’s made you cutthroat.

There is no question,

Of whether now you’ll sink or float.

Unforgiving,

You can’t make sense of where you are.

 

Somebody, somebody

Hear me

When I say, When I say

This wound

Wont heal

On its own

You’ll see.

 

Oh it was suicide.

 

Somebody, somebody

Hear me

When I say, When I say

This wound

Wont heal

On its own

You’ll see.

Within A Whisper

Why do you keep me here?

Locked in your honesty.

It has no air holes, howmi sposed to breathe?

Take back your hints that I am

Simple tragedy.

This can’t go on cause

You treat me like a charity.

Woahohwhoaoohahoh.

 

Is it far from fair

To say that we tried.

Those desperate ways.

To keep this love alive,

A lie.

Within a whisper of goodbye.

Light You On Fire

Cut by a knife you’re like glass.

Were you always this easy to see through?

Insensitive like glass.

And you’re so quick to shatter…

 

Can I light you on fire?

Can I wish you away?

Don’t stand too close,

My heart might stop beating.

Can I light you on fire?

Can I wish you away?

Can I light you

Light you

On fire.

 

Built like a wall,

I’m trapped between,

Something that’s real,

And something unseen.

They say when one door closes,

Another one opens,

But you won’t open to me.

 

Can I light you on fire?

Can I wish you away?

Don’t stand too close,

My heart might stop beating.

Can I light you on fire?

Can I wish you away?

Can I light you

Light you

On fire.
