lyrics

Lies, lies lollypopping in your mouth like the
Raindrops on your flip flops.

Flies, flies, buzzing in my brain, the
Bonfire at the break of dawn.

Skies, skies, all that I can see, a
Dizzy fall in the spring.

Eyes, eyes, fooling me again, a
Hypnotist, i remember this.

I like being under the impression that I
Love you.

Lights, lights, flicker in my dreams, someone's
Trying to turn in the truth.

Fights, fights, but not a word was said, lips so
Silent, never so violent.

Rights, rights, you don't have the right to tell
Me who you think I need to be.

Night after night, would have been a waste if I'd
Let it go for just one more.

I like writing you in the recession about the
New me, and I'm
Glad and, that's my confession to be
Without you, please
Don't shoot the messenger when you
Find out, you
Taught me the most important lesson.

I like writing you in the recession about the
New me, and I'm
Glad and, that's my confession to be
Without you, please
Don't kill the messenger when you
Find out it was

Lies, lies, lollypopping in your mouth, but I
Believe the sweetness never
Left you, and it's
Pain, but a blessing to
Be gone, and it
Might have been the last session that
I'll have, I like
Writing you in the recession about the
New me, and I'm
Glad, and that's my confession to be
Without you, please
Don't shoot the messenger when you
Find out, please don't shoot the messenger when you
Find out, you
Taught me the most important lesson.
