Verse 1

Waking up dead from a nightmare

Right there outer body feeling the might of fear

The nights near

Shadows stay resilient to form a silhouette as she dances to a minuet

Triple time it's 3/4 quarters to a whole

3 points triple shot attempt to take my soul

Try to walk away I feel it in my soles

Looking for some class but the books stay on hold

For it to connect its gotta be the shoes

They look at me as I look at 40 of you

Provisions don't line up with what is required

I watch her movements as to what she desires

As the clock strikes 10 31

Limited not by imagination but some sort of fund

Mitigating circumstance in this institute

The machine freezes as it attempts to boot

Chorus

They lied, they lied, I don't even know why I tried

I tried, I tried, any and all attempts to save lives

Your life your life who what when how where the why

They lie, they lie, they lie, they lie

Verse 2

Luring you in with an appetizing meal

Selling you what you want to hear how good it feels

Sign on the dotted line the deal is sealed

Commence the nightmare I can't tell what is real

Suffering through the heat of the devils kitchen

Where children steal slices of pie during intermission

My skin hurts and my mouth burns

A sense of deja vu from the first year curse

The name rhymes with another cripple

The joke was on me they called it the riddle

Pulling my strings song played on a fiddle

Hallucinations purgatory laying down in the middle

Now you want to give yourself to faith real quick

It is sick for if you ever believed in it

The characters around surround

The rest laid off to silence now

Chorus

They lied they lied and I don't even know why I tried

I tried I tried any and all attempts to save lives

Your life your life who what when how where the why

They lie they lie they lied they lied
