The Lie Lyrics

Flashes in the sky are leaving

Lines on the broken TV

And I wonder if it could be me

Glass somewhere inside is breaking

A future we will never see

And I wonder if it could be me

That saves you from the grieving this evening

But of course I prefer the lie

Of course I prefer the lie

Of course I prefer the lie

Why wouldn't I?

Sugar on our tongues and heartstrings

Out of sight and evening light

We are reaching afraid to hold tight

Much easier to conjure meaning

Across impossible divides

No competing safe on all sides

So I fall into deceiving this evening

But of course I prefer the lie

Of course I prefer the lie

Of course I prefer the lie

Why wouldn't I?

Carve it upon my tombstone

Inlaid gold and broken bone

I can do this on my own

I can do this on my own

And I won't stop believing this evening

Of course I prefer the lie

Of course I prefer the lie

Of course I prefer the lie

Why wouldn't I?
