I look to you; you’re looking deadly,
And knowing you, I know you’re ready.
Held in wait you’ve slowed and steadied.
I can tell you this if you will let me
The truth and the liar
Are death and your desire
You look to me like things are not fine
As if I’d died or worse, lost my mind.
Pushing back on unknown timelines
If you stop to think I know that you’ll find
The truth and the liar
Are death and your desire
Looking at the panic dealt me
I turn for you and you’re not helping.
I bought the words that you tried selling,
But caught the point and heard you tell me
The truth and the liar
Are death and your desire
Looking through your voice so soothing
It’s obvious you’re prone to moving
Take a glance at who’s been losing
And realize as if you knew me
That the truth and the liar
Are death and your desire
