Pretender

How do you live with yourself
Knowing you're a liar?
Or has it not occurred to you to tell the truth?
Secrets are one thing
But you're spinning fiction
And sooner or later it'll all catch up to you

A sigh of relief when they all believe
I wonder what you'd do
If someone asked the question

Do you have the right
To spell your name like integrity
If it's not how you live your life?
Just standing here the answer's clear
But doubts might haunt your mind
As long as you're alive

By now you must realize
Though you refuse to be transparent
Everyone around you sees right through
A promise means nothing if you lack conviction
And sooner or later it'll all catch up to you

Trapped in your cancerous delusions of grandeur
And after all this time
You still don't have an answer

Do you have the right
To spell your name like integrity
If it's not how you live your life?
Just standing here the answer's clear
But doubts might haunt your mind
As long as you're alive

IF YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR STORY STRAIGHT
STUCK IN A LIE WITH NO END
HOW CAN YOU EVER FIND PEACE
IF ALL YOU EVER DO IS PRETEND?

Do you have the right
To spell your name like integrity
If it's not how you live your life?
Just standing here the answer's clear
But doubts might haunt your mind
As long as you're alive
