One of My Lies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was younger, I thought that the world circled around me
But in time, I realized I was so wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Do ya think you're indestructible and no one can touch you?
Well, I think you're disposable, and it's time ya knew the truth
[Chorus]
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies
[Verse 2]
Why does my life have to be so small, and death is forever?
And does forever have a life to call its own?
Don't give me an answer 'cause you only know as much as I know
Unless you've been there once, hell, I hardly think so
[Pre-Chorus]
Do ya think you're indestructible and no one can touch you?
Well, I think that you're disposable, and it's time ya knew the truth
When I was younger, I thought that the world circled around me
But in time, I realized I was so wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Do ya think you're indestructible and no one can touch you?
Well, I think you're disposable, and it's time ya knew the truth
[Chorus]
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies
[Verse 2]
Why does my life have to be so small, and death is forever?
And does forever have a life to call its own?
Don't give me an answer 'cause you only know as much as I know
Unless you've been there once, hell, I hardly think so
[Pre-Chorus]
Do ya think you're indestructible and no one can touch you?
Well, I think that you're disposable, and it's time ya knew the truth
[Chorus]
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies
[Outro]
I used to pray at night
Before I laid myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too... Why?
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies
[Outro]
I used to pray at night
Before I laid myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too... Why?
