The Lie
by Jef Peace

Looking inside where you can't hide what you feel
A freight train on a downgrade runaway, run a way
Don't look back look down to the ground
where your feet slap like a cold clap
on the unyielding black of the paved road

It's so cold deep down inside no where to hide
under the gun there's no where to run
you can trust no one not even yourself
especially not yourself

You tell you the biggest lie
no reason why but still you try
to convince yourself it's all okay
It'll be fine maybe later today

Words bounce in your head with nothing being said
you feel like you're dead or you wish you were
But not really, that's not it, not one little bit
just doesn't fit with the lie to get by
gotta' try just one more time

Keep on tryin', quit your cryin' stop the lyin'
be honest with you 'cuz no one else will
They tell you what they wish were true
what's best for them, not for you
They say you are what they want you to be

Casual lunacy is in vogue this year
don't shed a tear for my loss of sanity
don't pray for me it's a waste of breath
god stopped caring about my life
shortly after my death
