Nobody bothered your football games I sat alone upstairs, thinking it was not fair If not people I thought channels could change Sitting here now I see, glowing in front of me You were the lie, you were the lie, you were the lie Maybe the demons possessed your mind Why bother fighting them, they'll only come again Or maybe you never even bought your storyline You weren't looking for meaning or metaphor You were the lie, you were the lie, you were the lie I threw out all the pieces that puzzled me Cause they never added up to much So I didn't know you were still assigned to killing me Still aligned with willing me away So maybe the best part of life remains Maybe it's gonna be, maybe you wait and see That's what they tell you, someday we'll all be free You shoot it off into space, but it never goes away You were the lie, you were the lie, you were the lie
