Lies Lies Lies

Lies Lies Lies

In the passengers seat
There's only an armrest between us
Why does it feel like a big vast sea
Your lies sink like a million fish hooks
You find small innocent victims, 
Shred their insides
And leave them for bait
You lies could paint the titanic with stains

You have no meat
Your eyes no soul
If I jump in
Jog for miles and miles 
All I'd find is open road 

I used to be impressed
I wanted to be like you
Your best gift?
Giving me existence another attitude
