Liar



you think you're gonna to live your life alone
in darkness and seclusion
yeah I know

you've been out there
tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion

but the feeling of lonliness never leaves you
it haunts you everywhere you go
and then you meet me and your whole world changes
and your whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop your defenses and you drop all your fears
and you're so busy feeling good
that you never question why things are going so well

you wanna know why?
cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll tear your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
a liar, a liar

I'll hide behind a smile
and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know
so you can say
I really identify with you, so much

I'll come to you like an affliction
and I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me
you wanna know why?

cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out
I'll burn your soul

I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
liar, liar, liar, liar

I don't know why I feel the need to lie
and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside
maybe it's something I can't explain
cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar
oh, I am a liar

but if you'll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
because now I see the destructive power of a lie
they're stronger than truth

I can't believe I ever hurt you
I swear I will never lie to you again, please
just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again

No, I swear
I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
no, no

ha ha ha ha ha ho ho ho ho
sucker
sucker!
ho, sucker

I am a liar
yeah, I am a liar
yeah I like it
I feel good
ohh I am a liar

yeah
I lie
I lie
I lie
oh, I lie

I'll lie again
and again
I'll lie again and again
and I'll keep lying

I promise

Illumination





I walked green miles of jungle
I walked through yellow miles of pain
I crossed starvation's desert
Watched dead rivers swell with rain

The song of insects filled the air
Nights in cites of despair
Where killer's sons said, son beware
And all the roads from here to there

I sailed the sea of desolation
Dropped my anchor there
Plumbed the depths of isolation
Walked its length and was not scared
Went from end to end to end
And then from there I went again
The road that only this one knows
Off to nowhere here I go

Illumination comes so hard
Makes me see but leaves its scars
At times I wish that I didn't know what I know now

Thought and thought until I lost my mind
Looked and looked until I went near blind
The path is fair but so unkind....Illumination

At night the highway's diesel roar
Speaks to me and tells me more
Than any book I've ever read
Or anything you ever said

With silent eyes inside
I watch myself and worlds collide
The seasons burn and crack my skin
I stay outside and live within

Illumination comes so hard
Makes me see but leaves its scars
At times I wish that I didn't know what I know now
Thought and thought until I lost my mind
Looked and looked until I went near blind
The path is fair but so unkind
Illumination

Illumination
Illumination
Illumination
