All your lies You'd lose a heart in your hand And I can't believe you'd make me work for it Now I understand Why I run as fast as I can Why do I breathe With what's beating in my chest? You'd think I'd learn better now 'Cause I can't get any rest

Come past the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries The wait 'til daylight dies No more broken promises Slowly we watch the degradation of the civilization The rise and fall of all we are Stands here before us

Oh don't leave me on my own Left me standing all alone Cut me down to size so I can fit inside Lies that will divide us both in time Don't leave me on my own I'm so tired of being alone These penitent walls are all I've known Songbird calling across the

Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world How can we stand aside And watch the rape of the wold This the beginning of the end This the most heinous of crimes This the deadliest of sins

You're still there for me, wherever there might be And if an ocean lies between us I'll send a message across the sea That you can sleep tonight, knowing it's alright I believe that you were listening to my song You've been here all along You're with me

And the record won't stop skipping And the lies just won't stop slipping And besides my reputation's on the line We can fake it for the airwaves Force our smiles, baby, half dead From comparing myself to everyone else around me Everyone else around me

I will stand my ground where hope can be found You'll take all that is wrong and make it right (Right, so right) Your love is lifting me above all the lies Oh, O'Lord O'Lord I know You hear my cry No matter what I face this I know in time Make it right

Can't see myself when I look in the mirror I get the skirt when I want (skrrt!) She got wife written all over Said that I was done for good and don't want no more lies But my phone be blowing up, temptations on my line I stare at the screen a while

A little super dangerous Girl, I was so afraid You said, "you shoulda seen the look on yer face" Just give me the news It can all be lies Exciting over fair or the right thing at the right time Everything is clear Just how you described The way it

Sorrow swallows my screams My story starts the day they said "she can't be found" the news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a sound It's over, she's finished, mother lies with my father and sister too Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down
