I wouldn't call myself a liar But sometimes it seems Easier not to disagree I keep telling myself It can wait So I lay that upon me To carry the burden around with me Would you still listen If I told you straight Just to please you I agree to your truth All at our expense I'm a censor Words are sleeping on my tongue I'm my own dictator Promising peace for the price of truth Not in the mood or too lazy to argue So I set myself a borderline To shut up before I speak my mind But don't you want to know who I really am? Just to please you I agree to your truth All at our expense I'm a censor There was a spark of truth But already it is fading You shake it off And I follow your lead I'm your ally in guarding the secrets we keep We talk and talk but say nothing at all All this wasted time we'll never make up for And don't you want to know who I really am? Just to please you I agree to your truth All at our expense I'm a censor Why do we pretend Why don't I dissent Scared of consequence I am a censor Indeed I could be hurt or left behind But what's a heartships' worth if it's attached to lies? I tell myself that I am protecting you But frankly that is only halfway true I'm taking the easy way avoiding you I'm a censor Scared of consequence I'm a censor Scared of consequence Scared of consequence Scared of consequence Scared of consequence Scared of consequence So scared of I'm so scared of consequence
