When i was a young boy

I was honest and i had more self control

If I was tempted I would run

Then when i got older

I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted when I wanted it

And i wanted it

Now im having trouble differentiating

Between what I want and what i need to make me happy

So instead of thinking

I just act before I have the chance to contemplate the Consequence of action



And I will turn off

And I will shut down

Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

The chemicals are restless in my head



Cause I lie

Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time

Yeah i lie

And i dont even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design



And ever since i figured out that i could control other people

I've had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed

And if i ask permission if i make sure its okay

I promise i wont slip up this time you can trust me

But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious

Who just confessed to treason

And I would also never ask a question

That i can not ask myself for it might dirty up your conscience



Cause I lie

Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time

Yeah i lie

And i dont even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design



And how can you say those things why cant you just believe

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face

And how can you say those things why cant we just believe

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face



And I will turn off

And I will shut down

Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

The chemicals are restless in my head



Cause I lie

Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time

Yeah i lie

And i dont even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
