-Cunniff-

I would love to be better
I would love to be free
I
would love to be perfect
when you look at me
but instead I'm still
crying
yes, instead I'm still lying
sad to say I'm still trying
not to
be me

When I see all the weakness
that I turned into sickness
I
still think I can slide
just fine on the ice
It's not easy to be
honest
sometimes I'm just astonished
how hard it can be to be
true

Why do I lie?
Is it just to get by
If I give up my lines

will I die?

If fortunes are favored
then I am in labor
and I'm
trying so hard
to leave lying behind

I don't want to be hazy
I
don't think that I'm crazy
but I've had some moments
where I am not
sure
and if you can forgive me 
for just being human
then I will try
harder
to keep my words pure

I could be on the border
It could be
a disorder 
but honestly I think
that I can come clean
and all of my
stories
might even be boring
If I can tell you
what they all
mean

Why do I lie?
Is it just to get by
If I give up my lines

will I die?

If fortunes are favored
then I am in labor
and I'm
trying so hard
to leave lying behind
