This Conditioned Lie - Life On Repeat

Another night I’m drinking

I search my soul again

But I’m afraid I’m thinking there might not be any left

I pull the pins and needles from underneath my skin

This silence taunts my ego

Is it wrong if I forget?

How it tasted

On my lips

And how I wasted

So much time on this lie

'Cause I don’t want to be broken

And I don’t want to feel numb inside

Still wondering how we spent so much time on this lie

We’ve had our eyes shut open

But now we’ve got to just say goodbye

Still wondering how we spent so much time on this lie

I’m facing down these demons

And I can’t let them in

They feed on my depression

Will I soon be one of them?

But even if they take me

It wouldn’t be as bad

As when you left me shaking

Now I fear I can’t forget

How you tasted

On my lips

And how I wasted

So much time on this lie

'Cause I don’t want to be broken

And I don’t want to feel numb inside

Still wondering how we spent so much time on this lie

We’ve had our eyes shut open

But now we’ve got to just say goodbye

Still wondering how we spent so much time on this lie

Two liars stuck

In a star-crossed gaze

An empty shame

Tragic

We would have rather died to save our faces
