I would sing my songs And wear a smile I would dance and dance In circles 'till tired I was as happy as could be For I was nothing But wonderful me
But then there was the lie __
In the beginning there was me Just me and the lie
Wherever I went The lie went too When I was sad The lie would be also And when I was angry The lie would be angry as well And the two of us felt just swell
It was me and the lie The lie and me And that is how it was __
In the beginning there was us I became it And it I Until there was no difference Between me and the lie We cut and we swore And we rattled our chains Together, not two, But one in the same It roared, I roared It gnashed its teeth and so did I Until I grew tired tired tired And let out a sigh
Then it was no longer me Just the lie __
In the beginning was the lie
It would scream and yell And throw a fit It would stare into darkness And sometimes just sit There was no happy, no smiles, no laughs There was only and angry rage That burned and burned Like the eyes of a lion Pacing its cage
