Lie to me

Lyrics

(Intro) (Yeah, uh) Lie to me... Yeah, look into my face and just... Yeah (Chorus) I see the truth behind your eyes Your whole damn story is a paper-thin disguise So lie to me, oh, lie to me Just give me the beautiful static that I need Lie to me, yeah, lie to me Don't wanna face the cold reality (Verse 1) You got that smoke and mirrors, got me trapped inside the frame We both know what it is, but we still playing the same game I see the text you deleted, I know the places you been But if I bring up the truth, we just gonna break it again So tell me I’m the only one, tell me it was all a mistake Paint me a perfect picture, even if the canvas is fake The truth is too heavy to hold, it’s weighing down on my chest So whisper that sweet fiction, let the paranoia rest Yeah, I’m enabling the cycle, I know I’m losing my mind But clarity is a cliff that I ain't ready to climb So keep the curtain drawn, don't let the daylight in Just give me one more beautiful sin (Chorus) 'Cause I see the truth behind your eyes Your whole damn story is a paper-thin disguise So lie to me, oh, lie to me Just give me the beautiful static that I need Lie to me, yeah, lie to me Don't wanna face the cold reality (Verse 2) They say the truth will set you free, but freedom feels like a cage I'd rather live in this chapter than have to turn the page Your alibis are shaking, your alibis got holes But I'm patching up the damage to save what's left of our souls So look me dead in the white of my eyes and tell me a ghost story Tell me about a future where we still covered in glory Don't want the facts, don't want the proof, don't want the receipts on the table Just keep reading the script, man, I'm hooked on the fable We built a house out of cards, we living under the ceiling I'm traded peace of mind just for a temporary feeling So play the part, hit your cues, don't let the mask slide down We the king and the queen of a broken down town (Bridge) Just sell me the dream one more time (one more time) Act like everything is fine (everything is fine) I know the bottom is dropping out But cover the noise, cover the doubt Just say it... even if it hurts... (Chorus) I see the truth behind your eyes Your whole damn story is a paper-thin disguise So lie to me, oh, lie to me Just give me the beautiful static that I need Lie to me, yeah, lie to me Don't wanna face the cold reality (Outro) Yeah... just lie to me Make it sound good, though Don't let the truth ruin the vibe Just lie... (Fade out on atmospheric synth pads)
