Lie
Daybreak, at the bottom of the lake It's a hundred degrees, I can't breathe And I won't get out, 'til I figure it out Though I'm weak like I can't believe So you tell me "trust me" l can trust you Just let me show you But I got to work it out in a shadow of doubt 'Cause I don't know if I know you Doing fine but don't waste my time Tell me what it is you want to say You sin, you win, just let me in, hurry I've been out in the rain all day So you tell me "trust me" I can trust you As far as I can throw you And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt 'Cause I don't know if I know you Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't I'll try, I swear I'll try! Mother Mary quite contrary Kiss the boys and make them wary Things are getting just a little bit scary It's a wonder I can still breathe Never been much of a doubting Thomas But nothing breaks like a broken promise You tell me 'bout your two more coming But once is just enough for me Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't I'll try, I swear I'll try I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed She comes in apparently to fill the void All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it And she would never hurt me though, she's never said it But I'm not going to ask her today I don't want to scare her away, oh Your town, I'm all alone And I just can't stare at the phone I want to talk about lifelong mistakes You can tell your stepfather I said so Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't I'll try, I swear I'll try

Falling through pages of martens on angels, feeling my heart pull west. I saw the future dressed as a stranger, love in a space-dye vest. Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding a pool in the shape of a heart. Beauty projection in the reflection's always the worst way to start. "But he's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display! He doesn't want you to be real, or to think or to live. He doesn't love you, but I love you! I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance, it's our last chance!" Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it, learning to swallow the rage. Found a new girl and I think we can make it, as long as she stays on the page. This is not how I want it to end and I'll never be open again. "I was gonna move out, get a job, get my own place. But I go into the mall where I want to work, and they tell me I'm, I was too young." "Some people gave advice before about facing the facts, about facing reality. This is, this without a doubt, is his biggest challenge ever. He's going to have to face it, you're gonna have to try. He's gonna to have to try and get some help here. I mean no one can say they know how he feels." "That, so they say that in ya know like, Houston or something. You'd say it's a hundred and eighty degrees, but it's a dry heat. In Houston they say that? Oh, maybe not! I'm all mixed up. Dry until they hit the swimming pool." "I get up with the sun, listen! You have your own room to sleep in. I don't care what you do, I don't care when. That door gets locked, that door gets locked at night by nine o'clock. If you're not in this house by nine o'clock then you'd better find some place to sleep. Because you're not going to be a bum in this house. Supper is ready!" There's no one to take my blame if they wanted to. There's nothing to keep me sane and it's all the same to you. There's nowhere to set my aim, so I'm everywhere. Never come near me again, do you really think I need you? I'll never be open again, I could never be open again. I'll never be open again, I could never be open again. I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend, I'll never be open again. I'll have no more dreams to defend, I'll never be open again.

Ooh Ooh If I'd started from the top And worked my way down There'd be no reason To live forever, to live forever The starvation Has turned me outside in And the wind Has blown me halfway ‘cross the world Across the world, ooh, yeah Why was I born? In an age of distrust I'd offered some change For a photograph It’ll always stay the same You will always be the same Until I show a desire for revenge My hunger will waste me to sleep As long as I have to die in the attempt Then there is no reason to live forever I found you where, they left you there A passing word that's gone forever And searching my memory for answers I saw the words of a letter you wrote She said, "You don't have to live forever You don't wanna live forever" And everything's changed and now I don't want to live forever, no

Hmm, Oh Live another day, climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands, mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky You won't find it here, look another way You won't find it here, so die another day The coldness of his words, the message in his silence "Face the candle to the wind" This distance in my voice isn't leaving you a choice So if you're looking for a time to run away You won't find it here, look another way You won't find it here, so try another day They took pictures of our dreams, ran to hide behind the stairs And said, "Maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall" But if they don't come down, resist the need to pull them in And throw them away, better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret, whoa-oh You won't find it here, look another way You won't find it here, so try another day
