Living a Lie

Truth is in front of me
Before my eyes
Truth is inside of me
Beneath this disguise
Lost my identity
Memory fried
Don’t know how to do it, but I can’t carry on
Living a lie
I woke in the lower world, under my home
Draconian faces, they wouldn’t leave me alone
They said pick a number but I couldn’t decide
I screamed for the Doctor and then he dropped me a line
Take off this monkey suit
It keeps me confined
Feel my self is swelling
I’m on the rise
Don’t know what’s stopping me
Coming alive
Monkey skin is splitting ‘cos I’m getting so big
Living a lie
I woke in the lower world, under my home
Draconian faces, they wouldn’t leave me alone
They said pick a number but I couldn’t decide
I screamed for the Doctor and then he dropped me a line
I’ve got to peel my skin
Fetch me a knife
Staring in the mirror
Self-hypnotize
Watching my body melt
Don’t analyze
Tripping through the tunnel of my multiple lives
Living a lie
I’m hanging here between the sun and the moon
Wings of redemption come break my cocoon
Flying to paradise, I still believe
Drunk on my genius, won’t be deceived
You know I want to be part of it, born in the day
Working so hard at it, got to be saved
You know I’m hanging here before you, take my mortal remains
So come on Jesus, won’t you break these spiritual chains
Living a lie, been living a lie
