| [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? |
| [02:41.33] |

Bridge |

'Cuz I lie |

Not because I want to |
| [03:06.98] |
But I seem to need to |

All the time |
| [03:12.19] |
Yeah, I lie |
| [03:14.81] |
And I don't even know it |

Maybe this is |
| [03:18.09] |
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 |
