I’ve been lost alone inside my mind,
Where the devil on my shoulder’s crying wolf tonight.
I’ve started thinking that he’s right.
“How could the sum of someone’s life
Be them believing their own lies?”
But I know
A self-serving lullaby
That’ll help me sleep at night.
It smothers me with sweet denial.
Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it’s gonna be alright.
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire but I’m gonna be alright.
If I lie myself to sleep, then I’m gonna be alright.
As long as I don’t know.
I’ve been lost alone inside my head.
The devil on my shoulder’s crying wolf again.
I’ve started thinking that I’m better off dead.
“How could the sum of someone’s life
Be them believing their own lies?”
Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it’s gonna be alright.
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire but I’m gonna be alright.
If I lie myself to sleep, then I’m gonna be alright.
I know that I
Lie myself to sleep every single night.
Inside my mind,
I lie.
I know someday the jury will call
And they will say, that I am a fraud...
An imposter... A liar. Deep down, I’ll know
That I agree with them.
