i'm making up powerful lies
my woman has x-ray eyes
staring past my pen
at my subtle suggestion
fictitious facts start to climb
new lows for the same old rhyme
no limit no
hesitating inflection
i know i can not convince
my self to deny existence
but some day all these words i mince
will from my soul a truth evince
*in time
these kinds
of crimes
change lives*
there's a quiet theft now between you and me
as i spend your time through our privity
i've been measuring my self in this light
squint at how bright
i'm looking up and down for the sky
pride holds me down
below the storm
blood on my crown
can i shift form?
just be reborn?
yes i've been making up powerful lies
and i'm still hiding from her x-ray eyes
but my shoes have worn thin
chasing door to door grin
i know my mind is a sin
but watch me mask my chagrin
*in time
these kinds
of crimes
change lives*
there's a quiet theft now between you and me
as you steel my mind through our privity
