[Intro: Mike Shinoda]

And he never lies

And he never lies



[Lupe Fiasco:]

(uh, yea)

He just sits, and watches the people in the boxes

Everything he sees, he absorbs and adopts it

He mimics and he mocks it

And he hates the box but he cant remember how to stop it

(uh) So he continues to watch it

Hopin that it can give him somethin he can box with

Or how the locksmith seen the boxes

Locked in the box and aint got the combination to unlock it

Thats why he watches, scared to look away

Cuz at that moment it might show him what to take off the locks with

So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and then he locked it

Swallowed the combination and then forgot it

As the doctors jot it all down with they pens and pencils

The same ones that took away his voice and just left his instrumental, like damn



[Chorus Mike Shinoda:]

And he never lies

(he never lies, he never lies, uh)

And he never lies

(uh, he never lies, he never lies, no)

And he never lies

(he never lies)

Cuz he never said anything at all



[Lupe Fiasco:]

He just sits, and listens to the people in the boxes

Everything he hears, he absorbs and adopts it

Anything not comin out the box he blocks it

See he loves the box and hope they never stop it

Anything the box tell him to do, he does it

Anything it tell him to get, he shops and he cops it

He protects the box, locks it in a box when he goes to sleep

But he never sleeps

Cuz he stays up to watch it, scared to look away

Cuz at that moment it might get stolen

And thats the last of the boxes

So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and locked it

Swallowed the combination and then forgot it

As the doctors jot it all down with they pens and pencils

The same ones that took away his voice and just left his instrumental, like damn



[Chorus:]

And he never lies

(he never lies, he never lies, uh)

And he never lies

(uh, he never lies, he never lies, no)

And he never lies

(he never lies)

Cuz he never said anything at all, anything at all

(he never lies, uh)



[Interlude Lupe Fiasco:]

And you cant tell me just who you are

You by new clothes just to hide those scars

You build that roof just to hide those stars

Now you cant take it back to the start x2



[Chorus:]

And he never lies

(he never lies, he never lies, uh)

And he never lies

(uh, he never lies, he never lies, no)

And he never lies

(he never lies)

Cuz he never said anything at all, anything at all



[fading out:]

And you cant tell me just who you are

You by new clothes just to hide those scars

You build that roof just to hide those stars

Now you cant take it back to the start [x3]
