Deceit

You say "just once" that's all it takes
A lapse, a slip before it breaks
Your mind; a tomb of discontent
Next thing you know you're done, you're spent
The skeletons you hide away
They speak only of cruel dismay
As we go down

Because the walls have ears the walls have eyes
But all I hear come out your mouth is lies
We'll take a trip, we'll take a ride
So we can see what lies behind your guise
Now I'm falling through these memories
As vision fades through disbelief
And I don't know what's wrong or right
You crave deceit

You beat yourself down to the ground
Forever trapped in lost and found
It's not your fault
So when the good times come to play
The masquerade is here to stay
As we fall down

Because the walls have ears the walls have eyes
Forever telling you to cut your ties
We'll take a trip, we'll take a ride
Through social constructs that we must abide
All those lies you tell yourself at night
The contradictions, fight or flight
Just sick and tired of this game
You crave deceit

(There's a devil in my mind)
Now I promise I'll make the time
(And he's pulling all the strings)
I'll keep the sheets from weighing me down
(I don't think he'll ever leave)
But I swear I'll make it right
(I have to, I've been through enough to break through)

Because the walls have ears the walls have eyes
But all I hear come out your mouth is lies
We'll take a trip, we'll take a ride
So we can see what lies behind your guise
All those lies you tell yourself at night
The contradictions, fight or flight
Just sick and tired of this game
And I'm falling through these memories
As vision fades through disbelief
And I don't know what's wrong or right
I crave deceit
