Lyrics Power Lies - The Thermals

Power Lies

How did I lose my past
How did I choose this path
Why do I hold to my chest
Every memory I mean to forget
How can I measure my length
Where will I find my strength
Power lies
How did I find myself on top
How will I ever know to stop
When will I learn to defend
When will I finally see the end
How can I erase my steps
How can I fake my death
How could I _____ to leave
The air is too clear to breath
Power lies
It takes back what you take in time
Power lies
How did I lose my past
How did I choose this path
Why do I hold to my chest
Every memory I mean to forget
How can I measure my length
Where will I find my strength
Power lies
It takes back what you take in time
It takes back what you take in time
Power lies
But it takes back what you take in time
How would you take in time
