Deceiver/Deceived Songtext
von Of Mice & Men

Go
Deceiver and deceived

Do you believe everything you hear
Or is it only what you see?
Is everything really black and white
Or is it all a shade of grey?

Tell me
Is your head in the clouds or buried underground?

Lie, deny, evade
And bend the truth until it starts to break
So fake, persuade, betray
Then tell yourself that everyone's to blame
Deceiver and deceived
Deceiver and deceived
Deceiver and deceived

Have you been sold the river full of gold?
The castle on the hill of sand?
Do you now see the forest for the trees
Or do you keep on falling for the sleight of hand?


Tell me
Is your head in the clouds or buried underground?

Lie, deny, evade
And bend the truth until it starts to break
So fake, persuade, betray
Then tell yourself that everyone's to blame
Deceiver and deceived

Truth is not relative
Truth is absolute
To reject truth is a choice
And every choice has a consequence
Go

Is your head in the clouds or buried underground?

Lie, deny, evade
Fake, persuade, betray
Lie, deny, evade
And bend the truth until it starts to break
So fake, persuade, betray
Then tell yourself that everyone's to blame
Deceiver and deceived
