Rational Lies

(album: Circle Of Dust - 1992)

"Bad dreams again?"

Here it is again: the voice that scares my thoughts away
Demands attention for itself, itself alone
Seems so unthreatening but promises a bitter sting
Soon my heart and mind become the battle zone

Push aside all reason, a sailor to the sirens call
Excuse reality for temporary lies
Sometimes I can't believe the things I'll try to justify
Only more lies again

Get out of my head, leave me alone
You're no longer welcome here
A voice so sweet with words that kill
A wicked whisper in my ear

In my time of weakness is when I see your strength displayed
Screaming silently tickling my ear
Lie! I know who you really are
And I see your hatred masked behind your smile

Get out of my head, leave me alone
You're no longer welcome here
A voice so sweet with words that kill
A wicked whisper in my ear

"You can't see the eyes of the demon until him come calling."

O wretched man so failure prone
Who will deliver me!
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but can I see?

"Bad dreams again?"
