Lyrics
The key unlocks the stained front door
Just as it did the day before
You find it looks about the same
Yet you seek someone to blame
The changes on, now that the life you knew is gone
Then you hear something else in your ear
And you fight with the fear, but it's perfectly clear
Chorus
You know what's wrong, you know what's right
Light up your morning, noon and night, alone
Silence on long-distance telephone
You cannot work, you cannot rest
Between the lines you'll find your test, the truth
And the burden of proof
While you listen for the rain on the roof
The more you say, the less you do
Nothing comes easily to you
Everyone hears your sad refrain
Nobody listens but the rain
Is on its way, swallowing every word you say
And you've found your excuses are drowned
In the thundering sound as the pain starts to pound
Chorus
Lying to live and dying to give the knife to the glory
Try to pretend the lie will not end, keep spinning the story
Over and over
Now the damage has been done
And you have nowhere else to run
In the end, only you are your friend
All your life is pretend, nothing there to defend
Chorus
