Lyrics
"Lies"
- Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
- Sealed with lies through so many tears
- Lost from within, pursuing the end
- I fight for the chance to be lied to again
- You will never be strong enough
- You will never be good enough
- You were never conceived in love
- You will not rise above
- [Chorus:]
- They'll never see
- I'll never be
- I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
- Burning deep inside of me
- But through my tears breaks a blinding light
- Birthing a dawn to this endless night
- Arms outstretched, awaiting me
- An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
- Rest in me and I'll comfort you
- I have lived and I died for you
- Abide in me and I vow to you
- I will never forsake you
- [Chorus]
- [Chorus]
"Lies" (Remake)
- (Bind) Bind my limbs with fear (fear)
- Choke me with tears (tears)
- Won't die for you
- (you) You've been here before (before)
- And come back for more (more)
- Not this time
- You will never be strong enough
- You will never be good enough
- You were never conceived in love
- You'll not rise above
- Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
- I should have known all along it was all a lie
- I should have know it was all a lie
- Now I know the truth
- I'm through fearing you
- And I am free
- You will never be strong enough
- You will never be good enough
- You were never conceived in love
- You will not rise above
- Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
- I should have known all along it was all a lie
- I should have know it was all a lie
- Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
- I should have known all along it was all a lie
- Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
- (I should have known)
- I should have known it was all a lie
- I should have known it was all a lie
