Lyrics
V1
It’s not the lies that hurt
It’s not the trust deceived
It’s not the heart that breaks
But the truth believed
It’s just the mind we trick
With our web of lies
Making our soul sick
Dying on the insides
We all have secrets
We all have fears
Things to hide
Buried deep inside
Chorus
The lies we tell ourselves
Are dangerous to our health
They won’t set us free
Without discovery
V2
It’s not the blind who sees
It’s not the deaf who speak
The truth is not conceived
To seduce or to deceive
It’s like a parody
Born of insincerity
Taking our honesty
Destroying our integrity
Cover up the facts
And the artifacts
Dismiss reality
For a sense of ecstasy
Chorus
The lies we tell ourselves
Are dangerous to our health
They won’t set us free
Without discovery
Bridge
Try to fool yourself, Try to live the lie
Doesn’t hurt to try to run and hide
Try to play the game and to stay the same
Doesn’t hurt to try and forget your name
