Build Me A Lie

Lyrics

You were the answer to my anger A promise in search of rage A home for every stranger The key for every cage

A Truth in need of a question The lens for my aggression

Build me a lie and I’ll hide every crack Make it sound honest, believe it’s a fact Start with my fear, make the danger clear Build me a lie and I’ll sleep… Believing you care

The spotlight starts to falter And the script’s a page too thin The crowd no longer sure Yet everyone pretends

A Truth in need of a question The lens for your aggression

Build me a lie and I’ll hide every crack Make it sound honest, believe it’s a fact Start with my fear, make the danger clear Build me a lie and I’ll sleep… Believing you care

Now I lay me down to sleep Safe and sound in my belief If I should die before I wake Free me from my last mistake

Build me a lie and I’ll hide every crack Make it sound honest, believe it’s a fact Start with my fear, make the danger clear Build me a lie and I’ll sleep… Believing you care

Build me a lie Build me a lie Build me a lie Build me a lie
