[Verse 1]
So the lie now is my weapon
Like a bush dried withered in the sun
With this spark I'll go up in flames
I'd lay my guts out but they're too small to see
It's kinda cute how I pretend to be
Everything but the instrument I am
[Hook]
Peace or happiness
So let it enfold you
A birth to life is what I'm after
My first name won't be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes
[Verse 2]
So it's true my words are contrived
I tell lies just to get into your mind
I'm as fake as a widow's smile
This mask of gla** is what I choose to wear
So I won't ever have the need to bare
The total truth to anyone but me
[Hook]
The light into your eyes all night
[Verse 3]
I'm just a bad actor stuck with a sh**ty script
All of my lines are cheap and the cast is weak
There was no music for the first time I got kissed
There was no femme fatale, my mistress wasn't rich
So I've been formatted to fit your TV screen
The film went straight to tape, I'll bow out quietly
So quietly, so quietly
Please do this now I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
Please save me, please save me
Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
You can't save me, can't save me
