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

That a hero lies in you And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth There's a hero

They're gonna clean up your looks With all the lies in the books To make a citizen out of you Because they sleep with a gun And keep an eye on you, son So they can watch all the things you do Because the drugs never work They're gonna give you a smirk

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

Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 'Cause Julie's been working for the Drug Squad Oh oh, alive Nineteen for you And you can get out in twenty-five It's Lucy in the sky and all kinds of apple pie She giggle at the screen 'cause it looks so green

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

So come along, it wont be long 'Til we return happy Shut your eyes, there are no lies In this world we call sleep Tomorrow we'll be free Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight Don't turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say Turn

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

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
