Lies
by Eric SeligmannTime has come
To shed my light
Pull me down
Then up again
Turn around, look deeper
Then ever before
Leave me alone, let me be free
Leave me alone, let me be free
Leave me alone, let me be my own enemy
Leave me alone, let me be my own enemy
I’ll deal with that later
I’ll deal with that later
Black hole is eternity
Sucks it down
Comes out days of new
Time has come
For a change
A change of heart
Let me die
With a needle in my arm
With one blow
Let the blood flow
To my fingertips, yeah
Purge me of my old self
Look deeper, deeper, and deeper still to find myself
Yeah, let me change
No one changes
They just become more of what they were meant to be
Purge me of these lies, yeah
No one changes
They just become more of what they were meant to be
Purge me of myself
Let me become what I was destined to be
What I was destined to become
Purge me of these lies 03/15/2009 Posted on 03/15/2009
