Flawed Design Remix - Stabilo

When I was a young boy, I was honest

And I had more self control

If I was tempted I would run

Then when I got older I began to lie

To get exactly what I wanted

When I wanted it… and I wanted it

Now I’m having trouble differentiating

Between what I want and what I need

To make me happy

So instead of thinking I just act

Before I have a chance to contemplate

The consequence of action

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

The chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lie

Not because I want to

But I seem to need to all the time

(Need to all the time)

Yeah I lie

And I don’t even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design

And ever since I figured out

That I could control other people

I’ve had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed

And if I ask permission, if I make sure it’s okay

I promise I won’t slip up this time

You can trust me

But never take advice from someone

Who just admitted to being devious

And just confessed to treason

And I would also never ask a question

That I cannot ask myself

For it might dirty up your conscience

Cause I lie

Not because I want to

But I seem to need to all the time

(Need to all the time)

Yeah I lie

And I don’t even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my

(Flawed design)

And how can you say those things, why can’t you just believe?

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face?

And how can you say those things, why can’t we just believe?

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face?

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

The chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lie

Not because I want to

But I seem to need to all the time

(Need to all the time)

Yeah I lie

And I don’t even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my…

(Flawed design)

Cause I lie

And if I could control it

Maybe I could leave it all behind

(Leave it all behind)

Yeah I lie

And I don’t even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
