Known To Lie (Acoustic)

I'll say I'm feeling fine
I've been known to lie
Been going through hell
Call it paradise
I lie to you all the time
But I lie to myself too
Say whatever I need to get through

Would you believe me if I told you that my phone died
No, not this time
What if I said I was brought down by the landslide
Sitting in my Jeep listening to Fleetwood Mac parked out by the cliffside
Water rushed past I reached for your call
It's a wonder with the storm I had service at all
But I missed it by a second
Try to check it - write a message
And then the car starts moving and I forget to send it
And I think my brain blocks most of the tumble
Cuz I just remember waking up in among the rubble
And sitting by myself in shock for a couple minutes
Cuz a moment prior, shit, I thought I was finished
And since the existential crisis I've been walking in a daze
Is it any wonder calling back slipped my brain? What?
It hasn't rained in three weeks? I coulda sworn I saw it pour
Shit guess you've heard this lie before

I'll say I'm feeling fine
I've been known to lie
Been going through hell
Call it paradise
I lie to you all the time
But I lie to myself too
Say whatever I need to get through

Would you believe me if I told you I was taking my meds?
Working hard and doing everything the therapist says?
Naw I wouldn't believe it either
Fever dreams feature better theatre then Broadway in the bleachers
Yeah you wouldn't believe me if I told you
But aliens came down from space or maybe jumped through a portal
They told me that I would save the human race
But only if I stayed inside for 36 days straight
Wait - you've heard lie too?
Well just hold on a second cause this next one might be true
I've got nothing to lose - shit I told that one too?
I've lied so much cant even tell me the truth
Proof is something that I loosely have
If by have you mean I don't have at all
But I'll claim I have it till somebody asks
When suddenly the facts come and break my fall
Lies burn my throat
Coat my tongue with propaganda
Man I can't stand another year of this slander stranded vacuum
Passive tactics manic addicts get me all up in a panic
Think you've narrowed down the truth you know nothing about it
It's easier to pull the veil then expose myself a fake
So I'll say everything alright till the next mistake

I'll say I'm feeling fine
I've been known to lie
Been going through hell
Call it paradise
I lie to you all the time
But I lie to myself too
Say whatever I need to get through
