Machine Called Man - To Live a Lie

You claim to know me
But that’s only half true
So much you’ll never know

The silent warnings
Little things left unnoticed
A quiet violence

I’ll never share my pain
The bruises fade away
It’s my decision to stay
I dare never tell
I smile all is well
But my life is a living hell

Read me like a book
Still not even close

Everyday is the same routine
Stay out of the way
And watch each word that I say
A perfect love for all to see
But when lust is all that remains
Truth and lies are one and the same

Read me like a book
Still not even close

You claim to know me
But that’s only half true
So much you’ll never know

The silent warnings
Little things left unnoticed
A quiet violence

Lie

To live a lie
Is to die one day at a time
For love I’ll try
And continue to sacrifice

To live a lie
Is to die one day at a time
For love I’ll try
And continue to sacrifice

Back and forth, I swear, I’ve no more patience to try
I’m losing my mind. I’ve no more tears to cry
Fear and doubt, I can’t count, the number of years that you’ve stole
I’m praying each day for a life I’ll never know

To live a lie
Is to die one day at a time
For love I’ll try
And continue to sacrifice
