Comfortable Lies

Thursday things they went to shit Couldn't recover so I quit Made an excuse to treat you poorly I'll never change, the same old story Been down this road, the well-worn trail It's contrition you need, you know I'll fail You want an apology, I give it a try But what's another alibi What's another alibi When it's like all the other lies What's another alibi You ask me but I don't know why Some weeks later we'll reconcile Distract ourselves for a little while Seeking solace within the strain Taking pleasure in the pain We walk downtown just to people watch Together in form but separate in thought Both of us wonder but neither pry Comfortable silence leads to comfortable lies Comfortable silence leads to comfortable lies Ignorance is my alibi Comfortable silence leads to comfortable lies I'll blow you off, so don't ask why Are we at odds or are we talking It's all the same it's all exhausting With me it's always a fucking chore Go the hard way unless I see the door No end in sight to this beleaguered maze We keep trudging forward lost in a daze Can't look at you but it'll be fine We take our comfort in silence and lies Comfortable silence leads to comfortable lies Your heart of gold is your alibi Comfortable silence leads to comfortable lies Don't want to be complicit so you don't ask why I could really use another alibi But knowing me I'll probably just lie
