Fine Art Of Deception

(album: Renaissance Men - 2019)

If I'm pissing up and down your hall
And if I'm casting shadows on your wall
Don't let my proximity mean what it may imply
I'm just working on a way to say goodbye

If I step in circles 'round the floor
Just my way of tryna find the door
And if my poor commitment gets me leaving here alive
I'm just working on a way to say goodbye

I'm keeping a secret alive
It's the fine art of living a lie

(Bullshit) When I say "There's nothing else on my mind"
(Bullshit) When I say "I'm not the fraudulent kind"
(Bullshit) When I say "You can rely on me"
(Bullshit) When I say "There's nowhere I'd rather be"
(Bullshit) When it looks like all the movies are true
(Bullshit) When the cheesy songs are speaking to you
(Bullshit) When you tell yourself that this is the one
(Bullshit) When you tell your friends that you're moving on
(Bullshit) When you think that the fear and the doubt is done
You've begun now to figure everything out
This is mankind, we invented the lies

I'm keeping a secret alive
It's the fine art of living a lie

If I say I love you, don't reply
If I say I need you, pay no mind
If my blank expression says my head's up in the sky
I'm just working on a way to say goodbye
I'm just working on a way to say goodbye
I'm just working on a way to say goodbye
