lyrics
I seen the better life
I seem so satisfied
I see the bright side of a war, and more,
I don't get sad inside
I fail but at least I try
I tell the truth but with a bit of all them
white lies
and cold eyes
hid behind a liar's smile
the teeth shined by a strange denial
I feel so good and gone
I sung my pretty song
I feel the pulling of a strong desire
to show you what I done
to show what is wrong
to tell you I can still command all them
white lies
and cold eyes
hid behind a dead man's trial
freed up by a jury of my peers
denied
I've read The Impersonal Life
I've watched them words go by
I've tried to make those maudlin thoughts apply
So I don't get sad inside
and fail, but still I'm trying
to tell the truth with just a bit of all them
white lies
and cold eyes
hid behind a mask that hides
a soul that's been tried and cast aside
with all them
white lies
and cold eyes
staring down a loser's pride
never knowing that's the way they're bound
to watch it die.
I seem so satisfied
I see the bright side of a war, and more,
I don't get sad inside
I fail but at least I try
I tell the truth but with a bit of all them
white lies
and cold eyes
hid behind a liar's smile
the teeth shined by a strange denial
I feel so good and gone
I sung my pretty song
I feel the pulling of a strong desire
to show you what I done
to show what is wrong
to tell you I can still command all them
white lies
and cold eyes
hid behind a dead man's trial
freed up by a jury of my peers
denied
I've read The Impersonal Life
I've watched them words go by
I've tried to make those maudlin thoughts apply
So I don't get sad inside
and fail, but still I'm trying
to tell the truth with just a bit of all them
white lies
and cold eyes
hid behind a mask that hides
a soul that's been tried and cast aside
with all them
white lies
and cold eyes
staring down a loser's pride
never knowing that's the way they're bound
to watch it die.
