[Verse 1: Jay Treble] The best person of all is always being honest Keep telling people the truth and you could be iconic Honest Abe probably told a couple lies But he chose to stay honest over having his pride Man it's easy to lie when people think you don't Manipulate people's minds to get what you want I hope you wouldn't lie to get a little fame But if you could would you even change your own name Lie about your job, your family But they weren't the people you planned to be With For the rest of your life And you find some man made her a wife She couldn't wait cause the money you had wasn't right Now the lies are all dead cause George took your life [Hook: Jay Treble] Directness, Openness, Honesty I know I'm not perfect That's not what I'm trying to be I'm trying to accomplish my dreams and accept my reality I'm not Jay Gatsby or Holden Caulfield If I had to carry things they'd be in the field My answers great if you ask how I feel (It's) One big possibility (It's) The American Identity [Verse 2: Jay Treble] Change changes in different sorta way If you can't accept change you might end up cray Or in the loony bin One flew over the cuckoo's nest And you never thought that you were losing him You say that we're in love then you need to start proving it Tell him that you love him no more So that we could leave Right out the door It's hard sometimes to come back from war When you sit back and wish you were on tour Or in a different place The night is getting to you in your quiet Space Start to crazy and the you lose your happy face Face the facts then understand the difference That she loves you right now because back then you were missing [Hook] [Verse 3: Jay Treble] It's hard to communicate the things you can't explain So you tell a story truth so that people feel your pain Or your conscious Never speak again Man that sounds like nonsense Grow up so that your life will be a better option Feeling sick and feeling a little tired But that feeling goes away When you've reached a higher Cla** My name they don't ask They show up to my parties And dance around to feel glad They think that it's fun But she's the only one I can't tell Nick She's the reason that this is done But if I do this ends He's my only friend How's my story even over before I felt it would begin (thanks)
