Twisted Lie
I feel like I’m drowning 
 I just can’t seem to breathe
 All of this lying 
 Is taking a toll on me
 
 People won’t understand
 If I tell them the truth 
 That I just wasn’t good enough 
 To be of any use
 
 I wish I were smarter
 Then I wouldn’t have to lie
 I could brag about everything
 And hold my head up high 
 
 I wish there was one person
 That I know who would understand
 Then I could share all of my secretes
 And have someone hold my hand 
 
 I am starting to slip up 
 So people might eventually know
 That this charade I’m upholding 
 Was undoubtedly just for show 
 
 The more people ask 
 The more that I have to invent
 And remember to keep my story straight 
 At every single event 
 
 I don’t know how much longer
 I can keep this lie going strong
 I’ll either crack or suffocate
 I think I've known that all along
