Everyone Lies Songtext
von yOya

"Everyone lies,"
You said through the door
As if it could explain it all
As if it stood for more
It pulls at the wound
We make when we′re born
With hurricane impatience
And dwindling remorse
And shifting eyes that bring us prying to the source

Everyone lies, and everyone knows
Sweetened or bitter, we swallow it whole


Cut on a lathe
Turn over turn
You polish your existence
In a bright and glossy world
But you're no craftsman
Don′t lie to yourself
You got a little lucky
Just like everybody else
It doesn't fit the story you were born to sell, but

Everyone lies, and everyone knows
Sweetened or bitter, we swallow it whole
Everyone lies, get in on the joke
Sweetened or bitter, we swallow it whole
Doesn't everyone?
Don′t you?
Doesn′t everyone?
Don't you?

Make a smile and join our hands
Salt the ice and fake amends
At least we have a lot of friends
Doesn′t everyone?

Doesn't everyone crack
The closer you look?
We see them in their shamelessness
But we′ll still read the book
We spit behind their backs but we'll still read the book


Everyone lies, and everyone knows
Sweetened or bitter, we swallow it whole
Everyone lies, get in on the joke
Sweetened or bitter, we swallow it whole
Doesn′t everyone?
Don't you?
Doesn't everyone?
Don′t you?
