A Convenient Lie

say you always won, but you’re always gone
say you weigh a ton, but you always nod
your head to the right, your place we will fight
into the night, into your arms
don’t do no slight, don’t do no harm
your modeling in my eyes

my brain is clicking while your life is slipping and I am wishing we could still be kissing
spin your web get out of bed extend your legs and then she said
you focus on the rhyme and not the meter line, you run out of time and you’re waiting for a sign
from above to show you love but love is dead it’s in your head
these things she said they broke my mind she was so kind her touch benign
your dreams are shattered they lay in tatters across the floor across the board
a bloody room all slogged with fumes of death and fear she licks my tears
soothsayers truth slayers newspapers tooth layers
grown out of clothes now you’ve flown out you’re broke now
the window’s open you can fly back in but you must atone for your sins

say you always won, but you’re always gone
say you weigh a ton, but you always nod
your head to the right, your place we will fight
into the night, into your arms
don’t do no slight, don’t do no harm
your modeling in my eyes

unlock the cage please call your page put forth your pay you’re out today
beneath your breath I hear you mutter words of death that make me stutter
I’m always nervous around your past remember your service of the last
searching ever for new beats running to escape the heat
you’ve got me tricked you’ve got me fooled you were sick and I never knew
now I watch your still form die now I hear your final sigh
I know there was another guy, and yet I wish I still could cry

I never got to talk to you, I never got to say I’m sorry
for all the things I never did
but I know what it means now, to be human
and I know what it means now, to enlighten
all the moves I never made, all the words I couldn’t say
building up inside of me, I regret my never deeds

say you always won, but you’re always gone
say you weigh a ton, but you always nod
your head to the right, your place we will fight
into the night, into your arms
don’t do no slight, don’t do no harm
your modeling in my eyes
