Deceit

You say "just once" that's all it takes A lapse, a slip before it breaks Your mind; a tomb of discontent Next thing you know you're done, you're spent The skeletons you hide away They speak only of cruel dismay As we go down Because the walls have ears the walls have eyes But all I hear come out your mouth is lies We'll take a trip, we'll take a ride So we can see what lies behind your guise Now I'm falling through these memories As vision fades through disbelief And I don't know what's wrong or right You crave deceit You beat yourself down to the ground Forever trapped in lost and found It's not your fault So when the good times come to play The masquerade is here to stay As we fall down Because the walls have ears the walls have eyes Forever telling you to cut your ties We'll take a trip, we'll take a ride Through social constructs that we must abide All those lies you tell yourself at night The contradictions, fight or flight Just sick and tired of this game You crave deceit (There's a devil in my mind) Now I promise I'll make the time (And he's pulling all the strings) I'll keep the sheets from weighing me down (I don't think he'll ever leave) But I swear I'll make it right (I have to, I've been through enough to break through) Because the walls have ears the walls have eyes But all I hear come out your mouth is lies We'll take a trip, we'll take a ride So we can see what lies behind your guise All those lies you tell yourself at night The contradictions, fight or flight Just sick and tired of this game And I'm falling through these memories As vision fades through disbelief And I don't know what's wrong or right I crave deceit
