Stabilo - Flawed Design lyrics

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 im 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 the 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 dont even know it Maybe this is 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 its okay I promise i wont 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 also never ask a question That i can not 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 dont even know it Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design And how can you say those things why cant you just believe And how can you say those things and keep a straight face And how can you say those things why cant we just believe And 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 dont even know it Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
