I don't like the world I see,
Very much at all right now,
I know it would be so different,
If I could see it through your eyes somehow
The truth is small consolation,
Because it fills me with so much doubt
I've lost my center of gravity,
I'm getting knocked all around...

(So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me lies...)

Because I don't want to believe what I feel...!

Rip into my thoughts!
And take them all away!
I wish that you would steal them,
'Cause something needs to change(Change!)
I am falling so much faster!
So much further every day!
So rip into my thoughts!
And take them all away...

(Just tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me lies...)

I don't like who I am,
And I don't know who I should be,
It's like being trapped in darkness, and,
I can barely breathe
But if I could see it through your eyes,
I might feel like it's worth a chance,
To listen to your lies,
And not give truth a glance

(So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me lies...)

Because I don't want to believe what I feel...!

Rip into my thoughts!
And take them all away!
I wish that you would steal them,
'Cause something needs to change(Change!)
I am falling so much further!
So much faster every day!
So rip into my thoughts!
And take them all away...

(Just tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me lies...)

My dreams...
I don't want to see them,
For what they are...
I just want to run away...
So, so, so far...

I don't like the world I see,
I don't know who I should be,
The truth is a fiction,

That's surrounding me...

So tell me, tell me lies!

Rip into my thoughts!
And take them all away!
I wish that you would steal them,
'Cause something needs to change(Change!)
I am falling so much faster!
So much further every day!
So rip into my thoughts!
And take them all away!
I will love you so forever,
If you will cut out all my pain
I am falling so much further!
So much faster every day!
So rip into my thoughts!

And take them all away...

I feel this is one of my strongest pieces, it flows absolutely perfectly, more now than before with a few punctuation and word changes to better reflect how it's sung, as well as the added "tell me lies" to the chorus bridge.

Often, when faced with the truth, we wish we were lied to instead.

There is a reason for that.

We don't LIKE it.

I would defiantaly listen to this. Very much potential, especial as a heavy metal/ hard rock song. What was your original intention?
