Lies That Make Us Real Lyrics

There's a reason why night follows day

And there's a reason why I feel this way

Though you never would know it I hold these feelings in

No you never will know it what I hide within this skin

Yes we all have our secrets some are present some are past

No one's cupboard is boneless I'm not the first and not the last

If you show me a person who claims to be a saint

I will dig up a sinner with marks upon his slate

For it's the lies that make us real

And what we choose not to reveal

It's all the things we learn to hide

Not much up front but a lot inside

Yes it's the lies that make us real

When choosing what we should conceal

What revelations we could share

If we only brought our soul to bear

You can say that I'm jaded with an unjust point of view

Well I respect your opinion but what am I to do

Can you show me a person who's truly free of sin

Can you show me a person who holds nothing within

For it's the lies that make us real

And what we choose not to reveal

It's all the things we learn to hide

Not much up front but a lot inside

Yes it's the lies that make us real

When choosing what we should conceal

What revelations we could share

If we only brought our soul to bear

What we can't reveal then we must conceal

What we can't reveal then we must conceal
