Play Crack the Lie Lyrics

I wrote my first song with you in mind

I was 12 years old, it was 2005

A friend burned me a CD, said to listen to it all

He scribbled in Sharpie what the record was called

Already heard

I hung on every word

And now we're neighbors

Are you the monster it means you must be?

Have you taken the time

To change the sickness inside?

Or are you still weak?

(Play crack the lie)

Are you still weak?

(Play crack the lie)

Are you still weak?

Through all of the heartache, all the tears that I cried

Sixteen in the suburbs, my sensitive eyes

And you were our guy, to shine the light with a ballpoint pen

When you talked to Christ, I was listening in

Already heard

I hung on every word

And now we're neighbors

I saw you walking out of Kroger last night

And I wondered if you might

Have killed the Devil inside

Or are you still weak?

(Play crack the lie)

Are you still weak?

(Play crack the lie)

Are you still weak?

Stephen got married when I was 14

I was fallin' in love with a girl named Casey

But I took too long to untie my words

And she moved on before I found the courage

So I stayed in every night, felt fatal in bed

Your Favorite Weapon was playin' in my head

And all the pain you sang I shared in too

Till I would lie awake hopin' one day maybe you

Could sing my songs like I sang yours

And be a friend to me, you could be my mentor

But everything changed when the truth came out

And the seeds you planted lay dead in the cold ground

In the ground, in the ground, in the ground
