Stories We Tell Ourselves

You never lose any sleep

Over the devil you know

You never lie awake half crazy

Filling in the gaps

Breaking down the words and the tone

No you don't lose sleep

Over the devil you know

You never question the truth

When the story's your own

You never catch yourself in a daydream

Trying to make the math work

Wondering why it just doesn't go

No you don't question

When the story's your own

And you think you know these other people

Think you understand their hearts and bones

When it's you in the lie

You never need to know why

You never wonder if somehow maybe

Wires got crossed

Something like a trick of the eye

When it's you in the lie

You never need to know why

And you think you know these other people

Think you understand their hearts and bones

I'm tearing out the pages

Of the stories we tell ourselves

I'm running out of patience

With the stories we tell ourselves

When we don't know how to face it

We just fake it

And ring the division bell

I'm tearing out the pages

Of the stories we tell ourselves

I'm running out of patience

With the stories we tell ourselves

When we don't know how to face it

We just fake it

And ring the division bell

I'm tearing out the pages

Of the stories we tell ourselves

I'm running out of patience

With the stories we tell ourselves

When we don't know how to face it

We just fake it

And ring the division bell
