lyrics

Lies can not only
Take the pain away
They can make us believe
The alter-ego
You worked so hard to be
And if the pain
Stings too hard
You can always stretch your neck
Or blow the top half of your head off
And really make a difference

What’s the problem
What’s the purpose
We made the whole thing up to fill the void
This is how we spend
Our precious gift of life
Waiting here to die

Surrounded by the culprits
I hate to be deceived
Distracted by the ether
Of what is real and what we choose to believe
You’re searching for the anti-truth
Still not satisfied
You can’t escape the hopelessness
The meaningless of life

Without the psychoanalysis
You wouldn’t have to lie
Without misguided hormones
You might feel the yearning
On the inside
Show me who you are
But please don’t try too hard
I don’t believe
In make believe
Reality ain’t that bad

What’s the problem
What’s the purpose
We made the whole thing up to fill the void
This is how we spend
Our precious gift of life
Waiting here to die

Surrounded by the culprits
I hate to be deceived
Distracted by the ether
Of what is real and what we choose to believe
You’re searching for the anti-truth
Still not satisfied
You can’t escape the hopelessness
The meaningless of life

No
I don’t believe it
Life doesn’t mean anything at all
When you waste it playing make believe
