Tell me those stories

I'm dying to hear the things you've done and seen

Farfetched as they may be

You strike a smile in me

Your stories ring of prejury

Constructed of self empowering theme

{Chorus}

Sucking on my brain

You're the teacher, I'm the student

Turning things around

You story's not congruent

Tabloid decoys

Pitiful excuses

Turning things around

You're turning things around!

A maniac stunning scene

I'm taking notes

You're taking me away

Into your false reality

I know your comfort lies in lying

To try to make your life make sense

But you're not making sense

{Chorus}

I'd say it aloud

But I'm not allowed

I see your head

Spin round and round

Broken record talk tonight

Skip that needle back and forth on your mind

Wearing out unconvincing lies

{Chorus}

Like a seedling dropped from and old oak tree

Your shade don't hide no sun from me

Fake stories humor me

It's graduation time

I love you like a mother

{Chorus}
