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 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 Cause I lie Not because I want to But I seem to need to all the time Yeah, I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this all a part of my Flawed design 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, who just confessed to treason And I would ask you never a question that I cannot ask myself For it might dirty up your conscience Cause I lie Not because I want to But I seem to need to all the time Yeah, I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this all a part of my How can you say those things? Why can't you just believe? How can you say those things and keep a straight face? How can you say those things? Why can't we just believe? How can you say those things and keep a straight face? 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 Cause I lie Not because I want to But I seem to need to all the time Yeah, I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this all a part of my Cause I lie And if I could control it Maybe I could leave it all behind Yeah, I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this is all a part of my Flawed design
