A Crooked Melody

(앨범: The Noble Art Of Self Destruction - 2023)

I've been lost alone inside my mind
Where the devil on my shoulders crying wolf tonight
I've started thinking that he's right
"How could the sum of someone's life be them believing their own lies?"

But I know a self-serving lullaby
That'll help me sleep at night
It smothers me with sweet denial

Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I'm gonna be alright
If I lie myself to sleep then I'm gonna be alright
As long as I don't know

I've been lost alone inside my head
Where the devil on my shoulder's crying wolf again
I've started thinking that I'm better off dead
"How could the sum of someone's life be them believing their own lies?"

I know
Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I'm gonna be alright
If I lie myself to sleep then I'm gonna be alright

I know that I lie myself to sleep every single night
Inside my mind, I lie

I know someday the jury will call
And they will say
That I am a fraud, an imposter, a liar
Deep down I'll know that I agree with them

I know someday the jury will call
And they will say
That I am a fraud, an imposter, a liar
Deep down I'll know that I agree with them

Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright

Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I'm gonna be alright
If I lie myself to sleep then I'm gonna be alright
