Lyrics for One of My Lies
When I was younger, I thought that the world circled around me But in time, I realized I was so wrong My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future It was a tragic case of my reality Do you think you're indestructible And no one can touch you? Well, I think you're disposable And it's time you knew the truth 'Cause it's just one of my lies Well, it's just one of my lies And all I wanna do is get real high Well, it's just one of my lies Why does my life have to be so small? And death is forever And does forever have a life to call its own? Don't give me an answer 'cause you only know as much as I know Unless you've been there once Well, I hardly think so Do you think you're indestructible? And no one can touch you? Well, I think you're disposable And it's time you knew the truth 'Cause it's just one of my lies Well, it's just one of my lies And all I wanna do is get real high Well, it's just one of my lies I used to pray at night Before I lay myself down My mother said it was right Her mother said it too Why?
