I Know You'Re Lying Before You Speak
words do not reveal a lie
there's stress and strain within your eyes
occurrences not of real life
retrieved from the brains creative side
within a split second not for long
there's too much thinking going on
pressure shows, don't get it wrong
before you speak I see it strong
words do not reveal a lie
there's stress and strain within your eyes
occurrences not of real life
retrieved from the brains creative side
It's yes or no just two choices
setting straight before deployed
dishonesty not found in voices
questions to which you get annoyed
People dismiss this or say I'm a freak
as though I'm on some lucky streak
I'm not the brightest mentally weak
yet i know it's not words that let lies leak
