The Lie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How do you know what you can be if you cant see where you are going?
What breaks the silence? Misery can make you see where you belong
It's a dangerous stage but the show must go on
Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Would you betray your soul?
Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Don't let your weakness show
You just might be the last to know
Freedom is such a loaded word, so full of hurt and such aplomb
Loneliness saunters in its breeze like a disease it drags along
The time of your life cant be had for a song
Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Would you betray your soul?
Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Don't let your weakness show
You just might be the last to know
Oh, Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Would you betray your soul?
Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Don't let your weakness show
Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Only the meek follow
Why do you lie? Why do you lie?
Trample the fear below
You just might be the last to know
