Built to Spill - The First Song lyrics

My thoughts are commodities My lies are me My price is a compromise My pay is peace And words just make it worse They're misunderstood, see just like there If you can't spell it out, if it's just understood Then you think it isn't there I make my mind up Convince my brain I lie on accident Trying to explain But all the things that I was told All the people that told me How can I not believe in things that Everyone else sees?
