Awkward Lies

Bald man on the TV Lower your soundless voice please! Unscrew your mind to him my friend For it seems they come in peace... Here is your world, your managed little lives Put up your walls and dodge your awkward lies. Look at this mess, you're given this test To fight for what you believe, what you "want this to be" I"m just killing time watching the tube, i'm just fine And once again I kill this light - I go to bed I hate my life. I can't dream of this anymore I know I won't because I didn't before Dodge your lie, live your life Here is your world, your managed little lives put up your walls and doge your awkward lies Look at this mess, you're given our test To fight for sweet relief and what you want it to mean.
