Stories told that slowly came apart Following the pulse of a loveless heart You cannot win the shady game you’ve played You hide behind the door In the bed you’ve made Fabricated tales for your charade A misguided lost crusade
You, you can’t escape the lie No matter how hard you try The future will reveal the reasons why You poorly chose to lie
As you’re walking toward the ledge You feel a coldness closer to the edge Never looking back at what you’ve said Never thinking how it might be read Someday you will slip up and be shown Beside the guilt you own
You, you can’t escape the lie No matter how hard you try The future will reveal the reasons why You poorly chose to lie
