[Verse 1]
Sunlight fading
Shadows inch past the door
God knows how I've tried
But some things can't be ignored
[Chorus]
All my little desires
Wear me down to the wire
I can't dream, I can't hide, I can't look in your eye
'Cause it's clear to me that we've been living a lie
That we've been living a lie
[Verse 2]
Stretching bedsheets
Holding out 'til the dawn
Blinded and blood stained

[Chorus]
All my little desires
Wear me down to the wire
I can't dream, I can't hide, I can't look in your eye
'Cause it's clear to me that we've been living a lie

'Cause it's clear to me that we've been living a lie
Oh, we've been living a lie
(Going under)
(Ain't no other)
(Talk like thunder)

(Took my blood and my soul and my heart and my time)
Took my blood and my soul and my heart and my time
(It's clear to see that we have been living a lie)
(Living a lie)
[Outro]
I've been living a lie
I've been living a lie
I've been living a lie
I've been living a lie
