Well I never seem to really update this anymore..
but I've decided that today will be no exception..
I comb the crowd and pick you out My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed “To I swear, I say” To hands between legs, to “whatever it takes” To drinks at the club To the bar To the keys to your car To hotel stares/stairs To the emergency exit door To the love, I left my conscience pressed Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer “What did it ever do for me” I say It never calls me when I'm down “Love” never wanted me But I took it anyway Put your ear to the speaker And choose awe or sympathy But never both Last time “I hoped you choked And crashed your car” Hey “tear catcher”, that's all that you are And ever were From the start I swear, I say To the “Love” I left my conscience pressed Through the keyhole I watched you dress Kiss and tell (Loose lips sink ships)
Are we growing up or just going down It's just a matter of time until we're all found out Take our tears and put them on ice I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light We're the therapists pumping through your speakers Delivering just what you need We're well read and poised We're the best boys We're the chemists who've found the formula To make your heart swell and burst No matter what they say, don't believe a word Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it I'll keep singing this lie I'll keep singing this lie Are we growing up or just going down It's just a matter of time until we're all found out Take our tears and put them on ice I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light We're traveled like gypsies Only with worse luck and far less gold We're the kids you used to love But then we grew old We're the lifers here till the bitter end Condemned from the start Ashamed of the way The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts Cause I'll keep singing this lie I'll keep singing this lie Are we growing up or just going down It's just a matter of time until we're all found out Take our tears and put them on ice I'd burn this city down to show you the light There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up And another around to help us bend your trust I've got a sunset in my veins And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie," I hope you sing along and you steal a line I need to keep you like this in my mind So give in or just give up Are we growing up or just going down It's just a matter of time until we're all found out Take our tears and put them on ice I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
