I Just Can't Live A Lie

Although lies are fun to handle, there's too much to this crushing candle;
The embers sink deep into my skin.
Your face surrounds me like the sky surrounds the stars on a faceless night;
The cold air's slipping around me like Nitrogen.

And you're not Superman, you're actually human; there's no need to stick around,
I have found my place in his arms, not yours.
The face on the clock is getting brighter; it's screaming at me as the hands are wound;
Let's throw the clock out in the hall and close all the doors.

The time is moving too fast; emotions are spilling like a candy covered dish;
Give me one that says, "You'll Always Be Mine".
Slow dancing is for two; I need you by my side again, but I'm too scared to trust the night.
You walked tautly across a burdened line.

But maybe if you swallow down some poison, you would do us all well --
You would be quickly forgotten.
And then I could hope and pray again to the night and the eclipsed moon;
Just stuff your mouth with cotton.

There's so much to celebrate, but with your lies we'll never be able to hold on;
Just say this isn't another lie.
I miss the touch of an adoring love, but yearn only for it if you can be decent again;
Just say this isn't another lie.
