Lies(Deceit...!)
They are so tempting(And so sweet...!)
They seem so simple(But make us weak...!)

They are the poison that we drink

In the middle of the night,
I'm screaming!
You're telling me everything,
But not believing!
Over burdening your soul,
But I'm not retreating!

(I refuse to drink)

How! Could you do this to me...?!(Can't you see I'm bleeding?)
Now! I can't even breathe...!(Oh no, my heart's not beating)
The sky! Is painted with my grief...!(My patience is fleeing...)
So sad...so sad, so sad...so sad...
You've made me break myself, and I'm so fucking mad!
How! Could you do this to me...?!
Now! I can't even breathe...!
The sky! Is painted with my grief...!
Can't you see! How you make me bleed...?!
One more round tonight! But! My! Heart! Can't! Beat!

Lies(Deceit...!)
They are the poison(That we drink...!)
They are so tempting(And so sweet...!)

And when the sun is rising,
Still screaming, no surprising!
I'm trying to unify,
But you keep dividing!
I don't want to hear,
The sound of your crying!
So I turn off the volume,
But then, I! Am! Dying...!

(But I refuse to drink)

How! Could you do this to me...?!(Can't you see I'm bleeding?)
Now! I can't even breathe...!(Oh no, my heart's not beating)
The sky! Is painted with my grief...!(My patience is fleeing...)
It's so sad...so sad, so sad...so sad...
You've made me break myself, and I'm so fucking mad!
How! Could you do this to me...?!
Now! I can't even breathe...!
The sky! Is painted with my grief...!
Can't you see! How you make me bleed...?!
One more round tonight! But! My! Heart! Can't! Beat!

Lies are the poison that we drink

(Flatline...)One! More! Time!
(It feels...)Like we're watching movie reels,
With our hearts all bound up in steel,
We're messing with the picture,
Trying to make the past heel
We're trying not to face,
That very acrid taste,
As the poison drips deeper in
At a faster, faster pace
We feel it entering our veins,
We are hoping we can be...

Erased! Yeah!

(The poison that we drink...)
(The poison that we drink)

How!(Could you do this to me?)(The poison that we drink)
Now!(I can't even breathe...)(The poison that we drink)
(Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe...)

There is no use denying,
So why are we even trying?
We're smothered in confusion,
Swallowed by the illusions
So many paths before us,
We've just gotta choose one
Slam the door on this past we hate!
And then the job is done!

(Lies are...the poison that we drink)

You move...
And then you prove...
That I was right to find the truth!

And I! Still! Love! You...!

But how! Could you do this to me...?!(Can't you see I'm bleeding?)(The poison that we drink)
Now! I can't even breathe...!(Oh no, my heart's not beating)(The poison that we drink)
The sky! Is painted with my grief...!(My patience is fleeing...)
It's so sad...so sad, so sad...so sad...(The poison that we drink)
You've made me break myself, and I'm so fucking mad!
Every other word is wrong, removing the joy we had!
If you turn your eyes inward, I think that you will find!
All the answers we're seeking, are locked inside your mind!
It's just a simple lock, but there are too many fucking keys!
I'm going to rip the damn thing open, so we can all find our release!
If I find what I think I'll find...someone better get a priest...

Lies(Deceit...!)
They are so tempting(And so sweet...!)
They are the poison that we drink...

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to deceive."-Sir Walter Scott

What Sir Walter meant was that one lie leads to another, each following lie breeds its own offspring, until it is all but impossible to unravel.

My family experienced this recently, we know all too well exactly what Sir Walter meant when he wrote those words.

And human nature is the same now as it was when he wrote them.

Sadly.
