lyrics

How did I get to learn
To listen to my speech
How did I survive
And follow this dance
The words are incomplete
The repeats make me scream
How I am the king
How can I be the king...

With a crown of flames
Sadness follows me
My smile and my sting
My memory is blind
It’s a monochrome
The words come too late
They won’t change a thing
Come down
See that
Burn

They Lie
I lied
They lie
And I…

Wrong, you were never wrong
Cause you rarely would speak
You’ll always be right
Cause you’ll no longer speak
The sun is tiring you
The moon is your guide
You remember their words
You forget and you’re free

What motivates my drive
And my line of thoughts
I remember your words
And the man in disguise
Starting, shaking, shaking, crashing
Try to just understand
It’s spreading endlessly

They Lie
I lied
They lie
I lied

I… lied
I promised to promise
I promised nothing
Those who can speak
Now remain so silent
You’re waiting for the next feed
But you’re stuck and I’ll keep
I’ll keep us running
And the answer is lost

How do I get to touch
This face bursting with pain
Time is calming me
Happiness precedes me
Behind those words
Can I see any way
They promised to promise
They run and
I lie

They Lie
I lied
They lie
I lied

At the right time you’ll leave
To the original light
I’m daring in vain
The irony of the fight
My sadness is tied
To time
And I lie
