distant lies - calling you across the years their voices loud - kind of loudness no-one hears grown and twisted out of shape they're so hard to recognise but still they point a gun at you make you be what you despise distant lies - shallow dreams, confused ideas once our hopes - now they anchor all our fears spend your lifetime if you will searching for the truth below years of doubt and years of pain and you still may never know distant lies lies of faith, lies of fame distant lies lies of love, lies of shame
