Honest Lies

Ask an honest question, I'll tell an honest lie It's closer to the truth if you can read between the lines Listen to the answer, keep it deep inside Let it be your witness, let this be your guide Did you hear the moral, did you get the plan? This is nothing heavy, I'll do all I can To help you hear the message, help you clear your mind I'll pick you up and brush you down, I'll help you one more time And when it's right before your eyes And when the time comes to confide It falls together, it hides inside You tell yourself more honest lies Sit there with the lights out, don't you run and hide There's more here to this picture, there's more now to confide Step out of the shadows, walk in to the light I can make you feel this, I can make you feel alright Listen to the whisper, listen to the scream Come back from the nightmare, wake up from the dream There's nowhere left to hide now, it's time to face the fact You can't change the way feel but you can change the way you act And when you're swallowing your pride And when the light inside you dies It falls together, you run and hide And tell yourself more honest lies When you're done swallowing your pride And when the fire inside you dies It falls together, you run and hide And tell yourself more honest lies
