You hear a voice when
there's no one around
It's calling your name but
there isn't a sound
A fallacy that's playing
within your mind
Your con science is scathed,
you're running out of time
No rest for your body, no rest for your soul
The spirit is tainted,
you're losing con trol
A paranoid, schizophrenic terminal case
Alone and distraught,
your problems are fixed
And you've learned to deal
with it on your own
Nobody else will know
But silently it grows and grows
He's lied to you, lied to you
And you're playing the fool
He's lied to you, lied to you
And you've gotten so
twisted around
You're thinking it's true
You take a chance, you're all right inside
Looking for someone
that you can con fide
Oh, Murphy, I try to relate
You're deep in secret, you can't escape
The walls start falling,
don't you bury your soul
The eyes open wide and start to roll
Where can you go to un derstand
Your feeling dismayed?
You throw up your pencil, you blur
To deal with it on your own
Nobody else will know
But silently it grows and grows
He's lied to you, lied to you
And you're playing the fool
He's lied to you, lied to your face
Now when you've got your soul
twisted around
Can't stand and start to believe
I've been done
It's up to you
And you've learned to deal
with it on your own
Nobody else will know
But suddenly it grows
And it grows
Lie to you, lie to you
Face down, you're playing the fool
He lied to you, lied to you
You're trying to keep your cool
He's lying to you, lying to you
And you're playing the fool
He's lying to you, lying to you
Without the look on his brow
He's lying to you, to you
You're trying to play him cool
He's lying to you, lying to you
An d it's not just second -guessing
the things that you've made up
You need a helping
hand from above
