Lyrics
Lie For A 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.
I can see a storm awaiting
Quietly anticipating
Don't deny, it no debating
A lie for a lie
A truth for a truth
Cruel, but everybody does it
I thought by now I'd rise above it
You complain but don't discuss it
A lie for a lie
A truth for a truth
I know the thoughts are on your brain
And even if they're not the same
Close enough so don't explain
A lie for a lie
A truth for a truth
Once in a while there's this girl I don't know in my dreams
She reminds me of alot of people
She's someone that I've never seen
And she's perfect
'Kay begin...
...some inaudible screaming
