Lies that we tell ourselves
Till it seems to overwhelm
Can you see the seams start to break
Till arms get bruised and battered
Your back feels like it's shattered
It don't matter just pretend that it ain't
So just keep saying fine
Promise rest when it's time
Say the things that you need 'em to hear
But let's be clear in your ears
They're just words to a mirror
Face the fact you're just standing in fear 

I promise I'm ok
I know you don't believe me
I know you think that everything I said
Was so misleading
I know I made a promise
And I really tried to keep it
Let you in on my big secret
Sowed some sin so now I reap it
I told you I'm ok
Even I don't think it's true
Another promise broken
Hoping God can see me through
The same ol wound reopened
Cope with booze so nothing's new
Where was God when I was drowning
Matter fact just where were you
That's not fair
You both were with me
I am just stubborn I don't see
That there's no chance for peace
If you're still wrapped up in deceit
I've been lying this whole time
Fighting demons Under siege
But that's no excuse to hurt you
But like Lenny I just squeezed
Did I choke away my purpose or just surface
Underneath I can hear the serpent scheming
Saying things right through its teeth
But I'm the serpent
I'm the liar
I'm the darkness in my dreams
Telling me that I'm ok
And all my pain is make believe
I'm the

Lies that we tell ourselves
Till it seems to overwhelm
Can you see the seams start to break
Till arms get bruised and battered
Your back feels like it's shattered
It don't matter just pretend that it ain't
So just keep saying fine
Promise rest when it's time
Say the things that you need 'em to hear
But let's be clear in your ears
They're just words to a mirror
Face the fact you're just standing in fear 

Selfish thoughts
What's the point
Am I living or alive
Thought I had it once before
I was wrong but it's fine
It's ok I'm ok
Everything's how it should be
Happiness is not a myth and I will find it
Wait and see
Eventually if I'm just patience
No you have to go and take it
Make it work for you
This life either breaks you or you break it
Man just face it
You've been lying to yourself all along
Every version of a verse
Variations of a song
Every line you ever wrote
Was a lie you only spoke
In the only way you've known
Folded deeply in the prose
I suppose could say on accident
A simple slip of mind
But the truth is that you've known
Your whole life is one divide
Every night I must decide
Take a handful or just one
Fix the damage or resign
That all of this can't be undone
It's no wonder you can't focus
Hopeless is your basic state
This disease won't get the best of you
Trust me you're doing great
Wait

Lies that we tell ourselves
Till it seems to overwhelm
Can you see the seams start to break
Till arms get bruised and battered
Your back feels like it's shattered
It don't matter just pretend that it ain't
So just keep saying fine
Promise rest when it's time
Say the things that you need 'em to hear
But let's be clear in your ears
They're just words to a mirror
Face the fact you're just standing in fear 

I know I'm not ok
I whisper into silence
My eyelids hide my lies
It takes its pride in my defiance
Reliance on a memory
Energy wasted speech
Vividly painted piece of emptiness
At its peak
Just venting to who's in reach
While inventing new ways to tweak
Your story til it fits the glory
This "everything" that you seek
All mask
No face beneath
So damaged but C'est la vie
Can't help em if they don't want it
No moral soapbox to preach
Yet you
Pretend to be well and fine
It's not swagger if you just stagger
While feet are split by the line
Balance
Don't make me laugh
The grind is all that you need
Reflections don't mean a thing
If you're blinded by green and greed
Mind racing
No pacing now can ever replace the steps
The people you crushed to get here
The lies told under breathe
Too late
The closing walls get closer
And closer still
But tell yourself you're still fine
I mean none of this is for real
It's all

Lies that we tell ourselves
Till it seems to overwhelm
Can you see the seams start to break
Till arms get bruised and battered
Your back feels like it's shattered
It don't matter just pretend that it ain't
So just keep saying fine
Promise rest when it's time
Say the things that you need 'em to hear
But let's be clear in your ears
They're just words to a mirror
Face the fact you're just standing in (standing in) fear

Lies that we tell ourselves
Till it seems to overwhelm
Can you see the seams start to break
Till arms get bruised and battered
Your back feels like it's shattered
It don't matter just pretend that it ain't
So just keep saying fine
Promise rest when it's time
Say the things that you need 'em to hear
But let's be clear in your ears
They're just words to a mirror
Face the fact you're just standing in fear
