Lies

 

Lies

Verse 1:

I’m speaking up can you hear me 

I’m making  this same sound

4:00 in the morning 

You know I’ll be back around 

Thank you for the opening 

Inviting me in again

I get used to this favor

We might end up as friends.

Nothing new or clever 

Why change what's  working

Trapped in a dark corner 

There we’ll be lurking with...

Chorus 1:

Lies

It’s our native tongue 

Lies 

It’s how things get done 

Lies

It’s what you want to hear 

Lies

Wish I could be as clear as...

Verse 2:

How’d we miss you?

How’d you get away scot-free?

We must’ve missed some chances 

To be more accusatory 

I set up the state of your circumstance

Gave you drink to drink and  a dance to dance

There’s a job to do and the nights are good

I’d tell the truth if I only could 

Why’d you have to use that Word?

I’m off now can’t stay round 

Re-use that line I flee every time

You must not like the sound of ...

Chorus 2:

Lies

It’s our native tongue 

Lies 

It’s how things get done 

Lies

It’s what you want to hear 

Lies

Wish I could be as clear as...

Verse 3:

I must follow in my master’s stride

I’m accusing you of having too much pride

You’re soft, you’re dumb, you’re square, you’re weak

Does this ring true?  I only speak in...

Chorus 3:

Lies 

It’s our native tongue

Lies

It’s how things get done 

Lies

It’s what you want to hear 

Lies

Wish I could be as clear as...

Verse 4:

I had you hooked but you went for His aid

Had you locked in & booked had you flippin just obeyed

Instead you had to go and listen in those meetings 

Y’all ruined my plan for self-induced beatings

A solid plan leading to heaps of pain then a hanging

Noise in your head & on the screens people banging  it's 

Chorus 4:

Lies

It’s our native tongue 

Lies 

It’s how things get done 

Lies

It’s what you want to hear 

Lies

Wish I could be as clear as...

Verse 5:

I had things all set with your eternity here 

Things looked good with cheap drugs & beer 

How’d  I go wrong in that 5-year span

Things were humming fine, going right to plan 

You met that girl and she led you to The One

Of a sudden all my plans had come undone

I wasn’t giving up on ya not so fast boy 

We still got some dirty tricks to jerk out all that joy

Who needs drugs when we got porn to tantalise your brain 

If you pay all attention boy we could still have you insane

Again we had ya wasting time hiding in the dark

Occasionally we’d let you out to run round in the park

Get back in here can’t you see it’s way too light out there 

You’ll miss all the action & that’s a feeling you can’t bear

Chorus 5:

Lies

It’s our native tongue 

Lies 

It’s how things get done 

Lies

It’s what you want to hear 

Lies

Wish I could be as clear as...

Verse 6: 

All those kids, all that strain, it’s bound to take its toll 

Don’t think you can take it to the Big throne boy don’t ya dare to be so bold

My master listens, my master acts and in the end you have to burn

But at least on Earth you feel kinda satisfied and you’re not faced with Words to learn

I’m selling this as best , you’re watching all the rest living lives that are conformed 

 problem is some are chosen and being transformed.

Chorus:

Lies

It’s our native tongue 

Lies 

It’s how things get done 

Lies

It’s what you want to hear 

Lies

Wish I could be as clear as...

Hebrews 4:15-16

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are —yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
