Lovely liar, how do you get by?
How long do you place smiles
on faces that wish to cry?
How often do you hide your eyes?
Lovely liar, do you ever get tired
of telling false promises,
of trying to hang on by a thread,
When you could be truthful instead?
Lovely liar, how long will you keep up this facade?
Playing charades with the people you hate
Throwing away time trying to keep the peace
and a knife within your reach
Lovely liar, tell me one thing
How much does the truth sting?
It's okay to be honest
it's only just us
Let's put this tale to justice
and throw away the picture-perfect harmony
If war brings us peace,
Then we'll die honourable at the very least.
