Negative Space

With everything considered, but nothing adding up
I can see why you would be inclined to rather give it up
The fake beliefs they tied you to they were never quite enough
But maybe nothing ever was?

Time and time again you've kept us in the dark
But tell us all the story where you barely missed the mark
Because of complications that were out of your control
You've made these problems on your own

You're telling a lie you don't believe yourself
But no one is buying what you're trying to sell
We're all moving on, but you're still caught in the
Negative space between your lies

No one can hear you scream
In the space between your lies
I know you're in pain
But you can't place the blame
On anyone but yourself

When nothing goes your way
When two is three too much
Your state of mind entangles, you end up losing touch
When colors fade to gray
When two is three too much
You fail to face reality when pity is your crutch

You're telling a lie you don't believe yourself
But no one is buying what you're trying to sell
We're all moving on, but you're still caught in the
Negative space between your lies
Don't you ever even want to wash the stains away?
We're all moving on, but you're still caught in the
Negative space between your lies

Oh, empathy and honesty are some traits you seem to lack
I hope you know that once we're gone we are never coming back again

When will you realize that you're not believable?
When will the dots connect?
The pieces you can't seem to fit

You're telling a lie you don't believe yourself
But no one is buying what you're trying to sell
We're all moving on, but you're still caught in the
Negative space between your lies
Don't you ever even want to wash the stains away?
We're all moving on, but you're still caught in the
Negative space between your lies
