I sit in my corner of lies
It's these four walls I despise
Everywhere I look I see a glimpse
Of everything I seem to miss
I lie
I cheat
But it's myself I cannot beat
I scream
I cry
But to myself I cannot lie
These walls are crumbling faster now
This I wish I did not allow
I'm swimming in this thick sea of lies
My excuses I do not buy
I lie
I cheat
But it's myself I cannot beat
I scream
I cry
But to myself I cannot lie
The walls have tumbled to the ground
My common sense it nowhere to be found
One lie leads to another
Now more than ever I need my mother
I lie
I cheat
But it's myself I cannot beat
I scream
I cry
But to myself I cannot lie
I know there is not anything I can say
To change what happened that day
Who I am I'm trying to fool
It's my emotions that mask, rule
I lie
I cheat
But it's myself I cannot beat
I scream
I cry
But to myself I cannot lie
Sorry is the best I can do
It's the answer I never knew
Till now
It's not my fault, it was you who broke our vow
I lie
I cheat
But it's myself I cannot beat
I scream
I cry
But to myself I cannot lie
Don't tell me how to cope, to feeling
I deal, how I deal
I'm no longer associating myself with you
My life, wall to wall, just keeps on crashing because you're so untrue
You lie
You cheat
But it's me you cannot beat
You scream
You cry
But to me you cannot successfully lie
Crumbing Wall To Wall
