The Weight Of Lies

Disappear from your hometown
Go and find the people that you know

Show them all your good parts
Leave town when the bad ones start to show

Go and wed a woman
A pretty girl that you've never met

Make sure she knows you love her well
But don't make any other promises

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
'Cause nothing happens here
That doesn't happen there

So when you run, make sure you run
To something and not away from
'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane
To chase you anywhere

I once heard the worst thing
A man can do is draw a hungry crowd
To tell everyone his name, pride and confidence
But leaving out his doubt

I'm not sure I bought those words
When I was young, I knew most everything

These words have never meant as much to anyone
As they now mean to me

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
'Cause nothing happens here
That doesn't happen there

So when you run, make sure you run
To something and not away from
'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane
To chase you down

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
'Cause nothing happens here
That doesn't happen there

So when you run, make sure you run
To something and not away from
'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane
To chase you anywhere

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
'Cause nothing happens here
That doesn't happen there

So when you run, make sure you run
To something and not away from
'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane
To chase you down
