White Lies

Some can't stand the sound of a little lie But why let the truth in the way of a good time? These words fall out like a lullaby Sweet connotations all covered in spite How virtuous the face of a saint comes across like But you can see the cracks in the mask in the bright light When everything round me falls apart I should know better than to paint things over I should know better than to fake my life I should know better than to shade white lies Dishonesty binds me Dishonesty binds me to you I should know better than to walk on ice I should know better than to shade white lies Dishonesty binds me Dishonesty binds me to you And it's fair to brand me a parasite For what it's worth, you're only half right How eloquently versed is the bird from the snakebite Now trauma bringing words and deceit to a knife fight When everything round me falls apart I should know better than to paint things over I should know better than to fake my life I should know better than to shade white lies Dishonesty binds me Dishonesty binds me to you I should know better than to walk on ice I should know better than to shade white lies Dishonesty binds me Dishonesty binds me to you Make up for nothing, don't make amends 'Cause friends don't matter, you can thank 'em when you're dead Make up for nothing, don't make amends 'Cause friends don't matter, you can thank 'em when you're fucking dead Make up for nothing, don't make amends 'Cause friends don't matter, you can thank 'em when you're dead Make up for nothing, don't make amends 'Cause friends don't matter, you can thank 'em when you're dead I should know better than to paint things over now I should know better than, no! I should know better than to fake my life I should know better than to shade white lies Dishonesty binds me Dishonesty binds me to you I should know better than to walk on ice I should know better than to shade white lies Dishonesty binds me Dishonesty binds me to you Dishonesty binds me to you Dishonesty binds me Dishonesty binds me to you
