Honest Lies

Ask an honest question, I'll tell an honest lie
It's closer to the truth if you can read between the lines
Listen to the answer, keep it deep inside
Let it be your witness, let this be your guide

Did you hear the moral, did you get the plan?
This is nothing heavy, I'll do all I can
To help you hear the message, help you clear your mind
I'll pick you up and brush you down, I'll help you one more time

And when it's right before your eyes
And when the time comes to confide
It falls together, it hides inside
You tell yourself more honest lies

Sit there with the lights out, don't you run and hide
There's more here to this picture, there's more now to confide
Step out of the shadows, walk in to the light
I can make you feel this, I can make you feel alright

Listen to the whisper, listen to the scream
Come back from the nightmare, wake up from the dream
There's nowhere left to hide now, it's time to face the fact
You can't change the way feel but you can change the way you act

And when you're swallowing your pride
And when the light inside you dies
It falls together, you run and hide
And tell yourself more honest lies

When you're done swallowing your pride
And when the fire inside you dies
It falls together, you run and hide
And tell yourself more honest lies
