“White Lies” is the first single of the second Dream State’s EP Recovery.
The song is about being an addict and how it feels when your addiction affect your whole life and the people you love.
I've got a confession
I've got a secret
On the tip of my tongue and it's bleeding out
You know I've got my reasons
This suffocating feeling
And the voice in my head is bleeding out
And I don't think that I'll ever really change
This is not how I'm made
'Cause I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addiction
I've been killing, wasting time, I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
I can do it if I want to
I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you
Blinded by these white lines
Feeling like I'm divine
Never reaching cloud nine
And I feel like giving up
Enough's never enough
I divorced all my love
Why won't you give up?
Why won't you give up?
'Cause I don't think that I'll ever really change
This is not how I'm made
'Cause I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addiction
I've been killing, wasting time, I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
I can do it if I want to
I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you
I need help
I've gotten myself lost again
I can't do it on my own
I don't know what to do
Please don't go
Just help me
I can't do this on my own
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay with me
I think I've lost half my mind
Fighting my addictions
I've been chasing the white light
I'm not, I'm not alright
And I can do it if I want to
You know I'll do it if I want to
'Cause I don't care if it hurts me
I care if I hurt you
With my white lines
And my white lies
My white lines
My white lies
