| 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 I’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
|
| 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 don’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
|
| I’ve had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed
|
| And if I ask permission, if I make sure it’s okay
|
| I promise I won’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 don’t even know it
|
| Maybe this is all a part of my
|
| (Flawed design)
|
| And how can you say those things, why can’t you just believe?
|
| And how can you say those things and keep a straight face?
|
| And how can you say those things, why can’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
|
| 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 don’t even know it
|
| Maybe this is all a part of my…
|
| (Flawed design)
|
| 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 |
