When I was a young boy, I was honestAnd I had more self controlIf I was tempted I would runThen when I got olderI began to lie to get exactlyWhat I wanted, when I wanted itAnd I wanted itNow, I'm having troubleDifferentiating betweenWhat I want and what I needTo make me happySo instead of thinking, I just actBefore I have a chance to contemplateThe consequence of actionAnd I will turn off and I will shut downBurying the voices of my conscience hitting groundAnd I will turn off and I will shut downThe chemicals are restless in my head'Cause I lie, not because I want toBut I seem to need to all the timeYeah, I lie and I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of my flawed designAnd ever since I figured outThat I could control other peopleI've had trouble sleepingWith both eyes closedAnd if I asked permissionIf I make sure it's okayI promise I won't slip up this timeYou can trust meBut never take advice from someoneWho just admitted to being deviousWho just confessed to treasonAnd I would also never ask a questionThat I cannot ask myselfFor it might dirty up your conscience'Cause I lie, not because I want toBut I seem to need to all the timeYeah, I lie and I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of myAnd how can you say those thingsWhy can't you just believeAnd how can you say those thingsAnd keep a straight faceAnd how can you say those thingsWhy can't we just believeAnd how can you say those thingsAnd keep a straight faceAnd I will turn off and I will shut downBurying the voices of my conscience hitting groundAnd I will turn off and I will shut downThe chemicals are restless in my head'Cause I lie, not because I want toBut I seem to need to all the timeYeah, I lie and I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of my'Cause I lie and if I could control itMaybe I could leave it all behindYeah, I lie and I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of my flawed design
