LIAR (K. McMaster) – 3:56
I see the world as it is,
I never lie,
When I speak I tell the truth,
I have no reason to lie to anyone,
Anyone save for myself,
Oh I lie to myself,
Every night as I go to bed,
Every morning when I wake,
I lied to myself,
Each of those three times I wished upon falling stars,
I lie to myself when I dream at night,
In those moments that I long for something,
That I know I will never have,
I tell myself that it can be mine,
That it should be mine,
That it will be mine,
I say that it was meant to be,
I lie
I lie when I think that I can have a normal life,
I lie when I dream about it,
I lie when I hug the pillow,
I lie when I think about her,
I lie,
I lie when there is no more truth to deal with,
I lie when they lie to me,
I lie when they tell me their stories,
Their lies,
I lie when I accept those lies as fact,
I lie,
I lie so that I will not cry,
I lie to keep this smile, however false,
I lie,
I lie when I smile,
I lie when I joke,
I lie,
I lied when I smiled that night,
I should have cried,
That would’ve been the truth,
But I lied.
