lyrics

I'm trying to wear this weight well,
to force myself from this room, this room where I dwell
for hours and hours and years
to kiss all my fears on their lips, scream I'm better than this
because sometimes, sometimes a lie
a lie can be right, like when I say, "I don't miss myself.
I'm glad that bitch ran off with somebody else.
I don't miss myself."
Oh but sometimes, sometimes a lie
a lie is a lie
and I'm lying, I'm lying to you
I'm trying to do all those things I need me to do.
It starts with small steps like trying to kill
everything inside that has grown its own will
then I push off to better things
like poisoning salvation when she stops and she sings,
"I don't miss myself. I'm glad that goddamn awful bitch
ran off with another, got lost in her lover,
she's his problem now, she's his problem now!"
Now that sometimes, sometimes a lie
a lie is a lie
a lie is a lie
oh a lie is a lie
and I'm lying
I'm lying to you
