Lying Beast

(album: Run River North - 2014)

Lies, lies, lying little beast
Lying little man on the corner of the street
Singing "Why, I can't come out to play
Can't come out and say that I'm afraid of what they'll say

They're saying, "Oh, no! You'll never be alone!
Never hear the sound of someone calling you home"
Calling you home

I flew farther than I knew
Father, did you know that I don't need to tell the truth?
Cause my lies take me far away
Take me to a place where everyone will know my name

Screaming, "Oh, no! You'll never be alone!
Never hear the sound of someone calling you home"
Calling you home

Oh Lord, whatever did I say?
Whatever made me think that this was all okay?
No one held me to the flame
The hell if I could take the dark from my face

Screaming, "Oh, no! I'll always be alone
I'll never hear the sound of someone calling me home"
Calling me home
Calling me home
Calling me home

Lies! Lies that I couldn't see!
I couldn't see that the liar was me!
And so I flew away with myself
I was the beast all alone in my hell
Lies! Lies that I couldn't see!
I couldn't see that the liar was me!
And so I flew away with myself
I was the beast all alone in my hell!
I was the beast all alone in my hell
I was the beast all alone in my hell
I was the beast all alone in my hell
