Deny

(album: Complex Happenings Reduced To A Simple Design - 2021)

And if I told you that denial
Could bring us together for a while
Slowly turning into liars
And if I told you that denial
Rings like a bell for hard goodbyes
We turn each other into liars

We had our reasons
Now we only get by on the lesions of our lies
You can run but you can't escape the price

It lingers on forever
In this endless echo chamber
It lingers on forever
In this endless echo, echo, echo

And if I told you that denial
Could bring us together for a while
Slowly turning into liars
And if I told you that denial
Rings like a bell for hard goodbyes
We turn each other into liars

We were defeated
It's even harder to fail when you're self-conceited
It's hard to win when you can't believe it
It's hard to fight when you're not worth the prize

It lingers on forever
In this endless echo chamber
It lingers on forever
In this endless echo, echo, echo

Pretty frames, ugly pictures
Imaginary gloves for your blisters
Distant noise of hard goodbyes
Detached from it all with a plastic smile
Pretty frames, ugly pictures
Imaginary gloves for your blisters
Distant noise of hard goodbyes
Detached from it all with a plastic smile

It lingers on forever
In this endless echo chamber
It lingers on forever
In this endless echo, echo, echo

And if I told you that denial
Could bring us together for a while
Slowly turning into liars
And if I told you that denial
Rings like a bell for hard goodbyes
We turn each other into liars
