Lying for a Living (feat. Xander Coughlan)

Give me space to write the lines Give me time to commit the crimes Who doesn't work for the good life, there ain't nothing here for free Amplify the atrocity and exercise this misery, The pathetic scenery Can you picture hell through me I need a moment, no I need all the time in the world This is a dead scene Stubborn mind's, so tough and mean You drag them out and show them how to be, how to let the feeling free Love absolves me, a decree, guarantee You cut it from the cord, the cleanest cut, the sharpest sword Feeling I might just go and cut the corners, the life I despise Strung out with those tired eyes. Have you had your fill of white lies Make me feel what it is to be alive Or just let me die Make me feel what it is to be alive I hear the devil's constant drone I hear the devil's constant drone Not till your soul is sold Give me space to write the lines Just give me time after time I swear I can walk the straight line I know you can't see it but I swear that I'm trying... No I know you can't see shit when all i'm doing is lying Love absolves me, a decree, guarantee You cut it from the cord, the cleanest cut, the sharpest sword Feeling I might just go and cut the corners, the life I despise.. sacrafice Pay the price. Sacrifice, The time you spent, Optimist
