How do you know what you can be
if you can't see where you are going
What breaks the silence Misery
Can make you see where you belong
It's a dangerous stage but the show must go on

Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]
Would you betray your soul
Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]
Don't let your weakness show
You just might be the last to know

Freedom is such a loaded word
So full of hurt and such a plomb
Loneliness saunters in its breeze
Like a disease it drags along
The time of your life can't be had for a song

Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]
Would you betray your soul
Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]

Don't let your weakness show
You just might be the last to know

Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]
Would you betray your soul
Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]
Don't let your weakness show
Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]
Only the meek follow
Why do you lie [Repeat: x1]
Trample the fear below
You just might be the last to know
