He′s been preparing all his futile life

Never took direction droned by anyone

He was a delegateHe would be seen

Never found a part of the house that we made

Everything inside was a flat display

Just the exterior

We needed to be a little more

You finally made yourself obsessed (Surrounded by your lies)

Let all the pressure dance around your neck (This blinding light)

You empty out yourself instead (Surrounded by your lies)

Don't think we′re ever meant to understand

(You finally made yourself obsessed)

All my forces fed through the highest edge

Just like an aerial

Falling at your ground

All compulsions set

Slipped right through your hands

Just as it's meant to be

Making a liar out of me

They finally laid your soul to rest (Surrounded by your lies)

With all the voices crying in your head (This blinding light)

It wasn't meant to be unfair (Surrounded by your lies)

Don′t think we′re ever meant to understand

It's like I wasn′t even there

It's like I wasn′t even there

Take the flower from your hair

The bets that you are true

It's impolite to stare

It′s like I wasn't even there

It's like I wasn′t even there

Lost the shimmer in your eye

The rest is hard to see

All that you had shared

It′s like I wasn't even there

It′s like I wasn't even there

And although you lost your soul

The weight that you must hold

It′s more than you can bear

It's like I wasn′t even there
