Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard the truth was built to bend
A mechanism to suspend
The guilt is what you will require
And still you've got to dance, little liar
[Verse 2]
Just like those fibs to pop and fizz
And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz
And you're bound to trip, and she'll detect the fiction
On your lips and dig a contradiction up
[Verse 3]
And the clean-coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt
The liar takes a lot less time
[Verse 4]
I'm sure it's clear and plain to read
It's not an alibi you need just yet
Oh no, it's something for those beads of sweat
Yes, that will get you back to normal
[Verse 5]
And after you have dabbed the patch, you'll breathe
And then proceed to scratch the varnish off
That newly-added calmness
So as not to raise any alarms too soon
[Verse 6]
And the clean-coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt
[Verse 7]
The liar takes a lot less time to decide on the saunter
Have you got itchy bones?
And all your time alone, can you hack your mind being riddled
With the wrong memories?
[Verse 8]
And the clean-coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt between the dirt
