well you've been living a lie by your own admission 

my patience has been hard enough to fake 

and the secrets you save for your new physician 

are leaving me with one ear on the safe 

the holes in your story increase suspicion 

your witnesses have all been on the take 

and we can give it a gamble under one condition

you'll have to take your foot off the 

foot off the break

 

so give up and give in 

and start over again 

but be honest cause you're all I need 

it's pathetic, why can't we get it straight? 



well you've been compromised by your new position 

they're looking up your skirt for heavens sake 

and your army of fakes that refuse to listen 

will end up in designer shallow graves 



it's true the torture and tears have become tradition 

but the something on the side is what takes the cake 

and the surplus of uppers and apparitions 

are the only things that keep me up 

keep me awake 



so give up and give in 

and start over again 

but be honest cause you're all I need 

it's pathetic, why can't we get it straight? 



so stay up and stay in 

yeah, i'll say it again 

look beyond this 

there's a big picture that you're missing 

framed by the first mistake 



by the bags under your eyes 

i can see that you've packed for the week 

so hang up this shit for the neighbors to see 

writing won't save the world 

so you best stay pretty girl



so give up and give in 

and start over again 

but be honest cause you're all I need 

it's pathetic, why can't we get it straight? 



so stay up and stay in 

yeah, i'll say it again 

look beyond this 

there's a big picture that you're missing 

framed by the first mistake



by the first mistake

by the first mistake

framed by the first mistake
