[00:00.74] |
When I was a young boy |
[00:02.89] |
I was honest and I had more self-control |
[00:06.19] |
If I was tempted I would run |
[00:10.83] |
Then, when I got older |
[00:15.90] |
I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted |
[00:17.34] |
When I wanted it |
[00:19.04] |
- And I wanted it |
[00:20.93] |
Now, I'm having trouble differentiating |
[00:24.30] |
Between what I want |
[00:26.11] |
And what I need |
[00:27.23] |
To make me happy |
[00:30.63] |
So instead of thinking I just stop |
[00:33.52] |
Before I have the chance to contemplate the |
[00:36.08] |
Consequences of action |
[00:39.00] |
|
[00:40.10] |
Bridge: |
[00:40.65] |
And I will turn off |
[00:42.65] |
And I will shut down |
[00:45.36] |
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground |
[00:49.96] |
And I will turn off |
[00:52.13] |
And I will shut down |
[00:54.97] |
The chemicals are restless in my head |
[00:56.94] |
|
[00:58.22] |
Chorus: |
[00:59.29] |
'Cuz I lie |
[01:01.61] |
Not because I want to |
[01:04.07] |
But I seem to need to |
[01:06.36] |
All the time |
[01:09.17] |
Yeah, I lie |
[01:11.46] |
And I don't even know it |
[01:13.86] |
Maybe this is |
[01:15.28] |
All a part of my flawed design |
[01:16.84] |
|
[01:24.73] |
And ever since I figured out |
[01:26.93] |
That I could control other people |
[01:29.61] |
I've had trouble sleeping |
[01:31.44] |
With both eyes closed |
[01:34.29] |
And if I asked permission |
[01:36.53] |
If I make sure it's ok |
[01:38.65] |
I promise I won't slip up this time |
[01:41.39] |
You can trust me |
[01:44.11] |
But never take advice from someone |
[01:46.49] |
Who just admitted to being devious |
[01:49.39] |
Who just confessed to treason |
[01:54.06] |
And I would ask |
[01:55.26] |
That you never ask a question |
[01:57.29] |
That I cannot ask myself |
[01:59.29] |
For it might |
[02:00.44] |
Dirty up your conscience |
[02:01.58] |
|
[02:02.43] |
Chorus: |
[02:03.40] |
'Cuz I lie |
[02:05.36] |
Not because I want to |
[02:07.97] |
But I seem to need to |
[02:10.12] |
All the time |
[02:12.94] |
Yeah, I lie |
[02:15.31] |
And I don't even know it |
[02:17.53] |
Maybe this is |
[02:18.85] |
All a part of my - |
[02:20.08] |
|
[02:23.88] |
And how can you say those things |
[02:26.27] |
Why can't you just believe? |
[02:29.09] |
And how can you say those things |
[02:31.35] |
And keep a straight face? |
[02:33.50] |
And how can you say those things |
[02:35.88] |
Why can't you just believe? |
[02:38.40] |
And how can you say those things |
[02:40.52] |
And keep a straight face? |

All a part of my - |
[03:22.08] |
'Cuz I lie |
[03:24.14] |
And if I could control it |
[03:26.53] |
Maybe I could leave it all behind |
[03:31.86] |
Yeah, I lie |
[03:34.58] |
And I don't even know it |
[03:37.60] |
Maybe this is all a part of my |
[03:41.61] |
Flawed design |
