we take oaths to lie

keep tearing on

dodging life one fear at a time

hiding under blankets

oh

and glow till it's gone

devouring distractions just to pass fame by

anything but the truth

we take oaths to lie

devouring distractions just to pass fame by

anything but the truth

we take oaths to lie

i'm not throwing it away

all for a good cause

i'm just drowning in myself

pointing out all their flaws

devouring distractions just to pass fame by

anything but the truth

we take oaths to lie

devouring distractions just to pass fame by

anything but the truth

we take oaths to lie

paralyzed by the chair

never knowing what we could have been

we have grown in spite of all reason

lose control

so long

gimme something harsh and painful

it's what i need to feel real

oh

gimme something harsh and painful

it's what i need

it's what i need to feel real
