I Know You’re Lying

Cause Your Mouth Is Moving

Truth.

The best lies you’ll find are wrapped up in it

Truth

You wouldn’t know it if it bit you

Truth

Requires being independent

If you haven’t tried it baby, maybe you should

Truth

Just another foreign concept

Truth

One you shouldn’t let pass by

Truth

Another word for being honest

But here you are again too tangled up in lies

Truth

Five little letters, but they pack a punch

Truth

The ticket needed for the final ride

Truth

What it offers should have been enough

But you’re what exists when black and white collide

Too late?

Have you dug in too deep

Damn fate

And turn yourself around

Last chance

You’re more than what is seen

Reveal true character before you hit the ground
