Believe the Lie by Purple Pines Lyrics
Pace around my room all day
Conjuring up words to say
To all my friends who might have noticed that I'm feeling low
Hide my head when I go out
Try to take the scenic route
So I'm not recognized by people that I used to know
I've got eight more hours to kill
Before I drift off to bed
Hoping to get a refill
The prices are rising everyday
But I don't have enough change
To make sure it goes my way
They say the well is running dry
So it might be time to
Fry my brain to numb the pain, ensure that I don't feel the sting
Trying not to analyze
All the ways I might revise
Myself for someone else, got a tendency to always cling
The windows are opening wide
I get a chill to my bone
But I take it in stride
The hours all roll away fast
I wish that time would stand still
So that we could make this last
I don't know if I can go the extra mile
But until that day I know that I can fake a smile
And maybe then I'll start to believe the lie
Find another reason not to say goodbye
And I'm looking forward to that day
Cause I'm not going to go out without a bang
Look at myself in the mirror
Try and see through the veneer
To get an image of the person that I want to be
Writing my own eulogy
Filling it with comedy
To keep em laughing, it's the last thing that they'll think of me
I know that it's a morbid thought
We better cut down the tree
So we can stop the rot
The truth is so hard to convey
But at the end of the day
I promise I'll be okay
Take a walk in the park and the feeling is stark
As I see, all the stars through the trees
Feel nostalgic and I reminisce
I never realized how many things there were to miss
I don't know if I can go the extra mile
But until that day I know that I can fake a smile
And maybe then I'll start to believe the lie
Find another reason not to say goodbye
And I'm looking forward to that day
Cause I'm not going to go out without a bang
Pace around my room all day
Think of better things to say
To all the friends who I know wonder why I'm feeling low
Conjuring up words to say
To all my friends who might have noticed that I'm feeling low
Hide my head when I go out
Try to take the scenic route
So I'm not recognized by people that I used to know
I've got eight more hours to kill
Before I drift off to bed
Hoping to get a refill
The prices are rising everyday
But I don't have enough change
To make sure it goes my way
They say the well is running dry
So it might be time to
Fry my brain to numb the pain, ensure that I don't feel the sting
Trying not to analyze
All the ways I might revise
Myself for someone else, got a tendency to always cling
The windows are opening wide
I get a chill to my bone
But I take it in stride
The hours all roll away fast
I wish that time would stand still
So that we could make this last
I don't know if I can go the extra mile
But until that day I know that I can fake a smile
And maybe then I'll start to believe the lie
