Crooked Lines

Give the illusion of the man
Who's heard it all before
My voice is steady
I prepare for what I know's in store
She says won't you relax
Create your problems
When you know the facts

But I drained the bottle
Now I stumble out the back door
My brother takes by the shoulder
Leads me to the floor
His words urge me to rest
My body shakes as I begin to retch

And I wasted my damn time
Trying to fit my world between your crooked lines
She laughs, my vision blurs
Promises I never heard

And now it's too late
'cause I don't ever say goodbye
And all of my demons wait
On the bed in which I used to lie
These are my memories
And this'll be the last time
'cause now I have finally
Let them die

A few months later
And the story takes a different shape
There's a filter in my mouth regarding my mistakes
You won't hear the other side
I've got a bitter edge in the divide

And I could've spent my time
Find strength in silence
Some peace and quiet
But instead I got lost
Searching in a world so small

And now it's too late
'cause I already said goodbye
And all of my demons wait
On the bed in which I used to lie
These are my memories
And this'll be the last time
'cause now I have finally
Let them die

Lie, won't you lie to me
Lie to me
Lie, won't you lie to me
Lie to me

Don't feel myself today
Don't feel myself today
Don't feel myself today
