Brad Wood - Flawed Design lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a young boy, I was honest And I had more self control If I was tempted I would run Then when I got older I began to lie To get exactly what I wanted When I wanted it...and I wanted it Now I'm having trouble differentiating Between what I want and what I need To make me happy So instead of thinking I just act Before I have a chance to contemplate The consequence of action [Pre-Chorus] And I will turn off And I will shut down Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground And I will turn off And I will shut down The chemicals are restless in my head [Chorus] Cause I lie Not because I want to But I seem to need to all the time (Need to all the time) Yeah I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design [Verse 1] And ever since I figured out That I could control other people I've had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed And if I ask permission, if I make sure it's okay I promise I won't slip up this time You can trust me But never take advice from someone Who just admitted to being devious And just confessed to treason And I would also never ask a question That I cannot ask myself For it might dirty up your conscience [Chorus] Cause I lie Not because I want to But I seem to need to all the time (Need to all the time) Yeah I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design [Bridge] And how can you say those things, why can't you just believe? And how can you say those things and keep a straight face? And how can you say those things, why can't we just believe? And how can you say those things and keep a straight face? [Pre-Chorus] And I will turn off And I will shut down Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground And I will turn off And I will shut down The chemicals are restless in my head [Chorus] Cause I lie Not because I want to But I seem to need to all the time (Need to all the time) Yeah I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this is all a part of my... [Modified Chorus] Cause I lie And if I could control it Maybe I could leave it all behind (Leave it all behind) Yeah I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
