Between Failure and Fraud

So speak...

I hear the words, and I look away
I hear your words, and I turn to say...

Read my lips
I’m done with it
And read my lips
I’m done with this

I’m not as good as you think
Oh I’m not as bad as you believe
And I’m not as good as you think
I’m like somewhere in between
Cause there are better things
And there are worse things
How can I look you in the eyes?
Then repeat, repeat!

Where is truth behind a lying tongue?
Oh and how can grace come to a failing one?
I wonder around…aimlessly searching
But all that I’ve found is nothing is working
You told me again, and over again
But I won’t hear you, I’ll find my own way

Read the lines between the lines
And see this life behind these eyes

We’re all seeing through the lies you’re leading
You are sinking in the ship you’re keeping
We’re all seeing through the lies you’re leading
You are sinking in the ship you’re keeping

And you... give me everything
We’re all seeing through the lies you’re leading
And I... I give you nothing in return
You are sinking in the ship you’re keeping

As you... you give me everything,
We’re all seeing through the lies you’re leading
And I... give you, I give you nothing...
You are sinking in the ship you’re keeping

Nothing... I give you nothing, nothing
I give you nothing, nothing

I know and you know, I’m a failure, I’m a fraud
Leave me to drown...
