Lyrics
Lies
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
[CHORUS:]
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Lies (Remake/Remix)
(Bind) Bind my limbs with fear (fear)
Choke me with tears (tears)
Won't die for you
(you) You've been here before (before)
And come back for more (more)
Not this time
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You'll not rise above
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie
I should have know it was all a lie
Now I know the truth
I'm through fearing you
And I am free
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie
I should have know it was all a lie
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
(I should have known)
I should have known it was all a lie
I should have known it was all a lie
