| When I was a young boy
|
| I was honest and I had more self control
|
| If I was tempted I would
|
| Run
|
| Then when I got older I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted when I wanted it
|
| And I wanted it
|
| Now Iâ??m having trouble differentiating between what I want and what I need to make me
|
| Happy
|
| So instead of thinking I just act before I have a chance to contemplate the consequence of
|
| Action
|
| And I will turn off
|
| And I will shut down
|
| Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
|
| And I will turn off
|
| And I will shut down
|
| The chemicals are restless in my head
|
| â??Cause I lie
|
| Not because I want to
|
| But I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)
|
| Yeah I lie
|
| And I donâ??t even know it
|
| Maybe this is all a part of my
|
| Flawed design
|
| And ever since I figured out that I could control other people
|
| Iâ??ve had trouble sleeping with both
|
| Eyes closed
|
| And if I ask permission if I make sure itâ??s ok I promise I wonâ??t slip up this time you can
|
| Trust me
|
| But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious and just confessed to
|
| Treason
|
| And I would also never ask a question that I cannot ask myself for it might dirty up your
|
| Conscience
|
| Cause I lie
|
| Not because I want to
|
| But I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)
|
| Yeah I lie
|
| And I donâ??t even know it
|
| Maybe this is all a part of my (flawed design)
|
| And how can you say those things why canâ??t you just believe
|
| And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
|
| And how can you say those things why canâ??t we just believe
|
| And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
|
| And I will turn off
|
| And I will shut down
|
| Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
|
| And I will turn off
|
| And I will shut down
|
| The chemicals are restless in my head
|
| â??Cause I lie
|
| Not because I want to
|
| But I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)
|
| Yeah I lie
|
| And I donâ??t even know it
|
| Maybe this is all a part of my (flawed design)
|
| â??Cause I lie
|
| And if I could control it
|
| Maybe I could leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
|
| Yeah I lie
|
| And I don't even know it
|
| Maybe this is all a part of my
|
| Flawed design |
