How to Beat the Lie Detector - Kele

Things were better when we were cartoons

Days would pass right through us

Our outlines wouldn’t change

But it’s okay babe

There’s still money to be made

Just gotta stay up

But the judge tells me that I’m going down

So I play to the jury for it’s in their hands

They steal everything to play

For I know I’m a betted man

Put your money on me

So I walk through doors

Walk through mirrors

Walk through walls to find out where you are

So I walk through doors

Walk through mirrors

Walk through walls to get to where you are

The seeds take root in my belly it seems

And from out of my mouth, the apple tree screams

«Oh Thomas how could I hate you

We just got lost in our own private rainbow»

He says it’s been a rather full-on day

But when I press him to dive out

He obfuscates

When I try to stand my ground

He triangulates on me

So I take him to the trapdoor at the end of a road

And before he works it out

I put him in and I just hope that he’s in one of his playful moods tonight

So I walk through doors

Walk through mirrors

Walk through walls to find out where you are

So I walk through doors

Walk through mirrors

Walk through walls to get to where you are

Oh oh oh oh

I can wrong the seven twice

Oh oh oh oh

I can disregard your good advice

Ah ah ah ah

I can still make your flowers bloom

That is if you really want me to

Darling, I got carried away

These days it’s easier to stay in make-believe

And I didn’t mean to protect you at your event

But if I don’t be the purpose then I don’t get depressed

It’s insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)

It’s insane

Darling, I must confess

I’ve been drinking to excess

I’ve been smoking to manage the stress

I’ve been sensing your unrest

But we’re doing okay, better than the rest

I’m still down for forever if you need to ask

It’s insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)

It’s insane

Darling, I’ve made a mess

If I send you my location can you pick me up

Just promise not to ask this place that you don’t know

We can sit in silence, like the wall and stone

Oh I didn’t mean to make a scene in front of your friends

But whenever I catch the headlines I get so distressed

It’s insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)

It’s insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)

(Trying to keep ahead of the beat)

(Trying to keep ahead of the beat)
