Lies

I don’t know why I feel so nervous
Is it just the future pressing near?
I’m not just chasing after phantoms
I’m just expressing all our fears

Each day every passing hour
The lurking shadow increases power
Lies become a way of life
Fear cuts like a laser light
Look into the shiny prism
Binding men while causing friction
Making heroes arousing villians
Fictitious realism

I don’t know why I can’t get in motion
Seeing, hearing what can one man do?
The newsman tells me we won another battle
Smiling, cheering I know it’s not true

Drive awhile on the open highway
Buy a burger have them make it my way
Make a move on some haunting eyes
Try to stop feeling paralyzed
When it comes down right to it
I refuse to use her
Like a fish dangling from the pole
I just have to let her go

I don’t know why I feel no emotion
Touching, holding I know it’s a fluke
I’m never happy preying on devotion
Singing, praying I know it’s not true

Lies in a dream, lies on the screen, lies of hope, lies to cope
Medical lies, spiritual lies, lies of passion, lies in fashion
Lies on the job, lies to the mob, lies to fool, lies to rule

Ooh, lies, success they say has its price, ooh lies, you get nowhere by being nice
Political lies, steals the truth from our eyes, historical lies, says we deceive to survive

Lies, lies everybody lies
Lies, lies why can’t I?
