Only Lyin - Louden Swain

Today is no different

Than any other day

The shadows above us

Are distant and gray

The algae is slimy

And the water is dark

I wish we weren’t goldfish

I wish we were sharks

And you, you laugh

Despite yourself

You’re hanging on

You’re weak as hell

The beer you drank

Has left a stain

And you--you're only lying to you

I want a do-over

I want it erased

Those things kept inside me

The information I’ve saved

The world beats around me

To a different tune

I’m a worthless computer

I wish I was you

And you, you laugh

Despite yourself

You’re hanging on

You’re weak as hell

The beer you drank

Has left a stain

And you--you're only lying to you

Take a picture

It won’t look so bad

Don’t try to look

In the mirror

Everything is easy

If you ask

The world is so much clearer

You’re only lying to you

Today is no different

Than any other day

The power is running

The children are safe

Nothing can equal

The love that she adds

You’re in first place now

Why do you feel last?
