Intro
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 im 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 the chance to contemplate
the consequence of action
Pre-chorus
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
Chorus
Cause I lie
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Yeah i lie
And i dont 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 its okay I promise i wont slip up
this time you can trust me
But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious
Who just confessed to treason
And I would also never ask a question that i can not ask myself for it
might dirty up your conscience
Chorus
Cause I lie
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Yeah i lie
And i dont even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my..
Bridge
And how can you say those things why cant you just believe
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
And how can you say those things why cant we just believe
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
Pre-chorus
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
Chorus
Cause I lie not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Yeah i lie and i dont even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my..
And i lie, and if i could control it, maybe i would leave this all behind
Yeah i lie, and i don't even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my... flawed design
