Veneer
It's the lies that matter
Join the party
My veneer is softly parting
Softest spoken person I know
How will I survive tomorrow?
I'm a hazard, I cause problems
Losing color, end of autumn
I unravel right before you
Hard to say I still adore you
Oh no, oh no
Two thirds to the filter and halfway home
I remember what you wanted when we started to dance
I'd remember what you told me if you gave me a chance
Oh boy, I'm out
I'm sorry I was scared, but I am married to doubt
I am only just beginning, I am only a kid
A slippery slope, I only knew when I slid
Why did I pretend
Like that feeling went away?
I wasted so much time today
And I stay high upon the fence
I missed you yesterday
I've got so much left to say
I know, I know
I'm totally confused, I didn't want you to go
I'm quiet, I'm too quiet, it's too quiet to sleep
If you're leaving, won't you tell me? Won't you save me a seat?
Oh man, alright
I just thought it was obvious, I thought I was right
But I'm only now discovering the truth of the matter
Walking on glass, I should've known it would shatter
Why did I pretend
Like that feeling went away?
I wasted so much time today
And I stay high upon the fence
I missed you yesterday
I've got so much left to say
It's the lies that matter
It's the lies that matter
Truth is carnal
Kill today, forgive tomorrow
Goes unspoken
If it's all over, tell me surely
Don't forget you still adore me
Why did I pretend
Like that feeling went away?
I wasted so much time today
And I stay high upon the fence
I missed you yesterday
I've got so much left to say
Join the party
My veneer is softly parting
Softest spoken person I know
How will I survive tomorrow?
I'm a hazard, I cause problems
Losing color, end of autumn
I unravel right before you
Hard to say I still adore you
Oh no, oh no
Two thirds to the filter and halfway home
I remember what you wanted when we started to dance
I'd remember what you told me if you gave me a chance
Oh boy, I'm out
I'm sorry I was scared, but I am married to doubt
I am only just beginning, I am only a kid
A slippery slope, I only knew when I slid
Why did I pretend
Like that feeling went away?
I wasted so much time today
And I stay high upon the fence
I missed you yesterday
I've got so much left to say
I know, I know
I'm totally confused, I didn't want you to go
I'm quiet, I'm too quiet, it's too quiet to sleep
If you're leaving, won't you tell me? Won't you save me a seat?

It's the lies that matter

If it's all over, tell me surely
Don't forget you still adore me
Why did I pretend
Like that feeling went away?
I wasted so much time today
And I stay high upon the fence
I missed you yesterday
I've got so much left to say
