If I Told You the Truth I Would Be Made of Lies

Losing all the limbs I ever owed
To a woman of small minded talents
Plucking the wings of a flowerless heart
I endured the lies for far too long

All the naked confessions were in vain
Only to be seen by the runt of a queen
Of a small brittle heart
From a small brittle part of a small brittle heart

If she told me the truth
I would have hunted her down
If she told me one truth I would have hunted her
And left her out to dry

Taking dead admissions from my skin
Since the day she grew gray and colder
And taking the switch from a powerless light
Younger skies may have turned to dust

Yes those naked confessions were in vain
At least they were seen by that runt of a queen
Of a small brittle heart
From a small brittle part
Yes a small little heart

If she told me the truth
I would have hunted her down
And if she told you the truth from the start
You would have laughed yourself to sleep
And if she told me one truth I would have hunted her
And left her out to dry
Dry, left her out to dry

She says "If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"
"If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"
"If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"
"If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"

She tells herself

I have the body of a deer
But only when it turns to slime
You're missing all your teeth my dear
Don't think that I'll be fooled this time
Nothing belongs to me
So take what you want 'cause it means nothing
Belongs to me
So take what you want because it means nothing

If she told me the truth
I would have hunted her down
And if she told you one truth from the start
You would have laughed yourself to sleep
If she told me one truth I would have hunted her
And left her out to dry
Dry, left her out to dry

She says "If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"
"If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"
"If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"
"If I told you the truth I would be made of lies"
