Tall Tales

I'm seeing ugly faces in the drywall
Is it me just projecting
Could've been a ghost tapping my shoulder
Or a brain synapse disconnecting

I can't stop myself from believing
I'm a shell of a human being
And I know it's a little bit deceiving
But I've always liked tall tales
There's a story being told from the outside
Doesn't match the hollow looking inside
If I said otherwise, well I lied
It's all in the details

There ain't no kind of weekender that's gonna fix this
You know that saying that shit runs deep and downhill
(Once it starts it won't give up, cut your losses don't fuck it up)
And it's going to take a while to climb out of this
I gotta wonder if I ever ever ever even had free will
(It might not be logical, you're your own worst obstacle)

I can't stop myself from believing
I'm a shell of a human being
And I know it's a little bit deceiving
But I've always liked tall tales
There's a story being told from the outside
Doesn't match the hollow looking inside
If I said otherwise, well I lied
It's all in the details

Have I spent too much time on this
Trying to get the pieces fit
How the hell am I supposed to know
Yeah you think we're compatible
But I feel like I'm losing control
I don't know what to do anymore

I can't stop myself from believing
I'm a shell of a human being
And I know it's a little bit deceiving
But I've always liked tall tales
There's a story being told from the outside
Doesn't match the hollow looking inside
If I said otherwise, well I lied
It's all in the details
