One dirty deed in the dark turns into ten thousand
Now you're afraid of the fraction and the almighty backhand
What to do, what to do?
There ain't nothin' that you can say
And would you look like a fool on another golden day?
Redeem yourself

So you duck and you dodge and you make up a crazy story
And you hide all the minor details with an allegory
But there's a rock in your shoe and a thorn in your hidden side
Not to mention the monkey you took on your back for a ride
Where to go, where to go?
How to check this heavy baggage in
You must confess to the soul whose sky you darkened on a whim
Redeem yourself

There's a place in the city
A monument on a hill
There's secret place in the country
Where a young heart was secretly killed

The time didn't heal the scars
The years didn't tear down the wall
The door of the stairway to Hell left ajar
And it's easy to stumble and fall

You can lie to your blood
You can lie until we're deaf
But the lies become a flood
When you lie to yourself

Take my hand, take my heart
Take my soul for all time
With words you can tear them apart
Thrown from the mountain we climbed

The pain of the past came around
And the cancer grew from within
Then in the darkness the other was found
And the blade of the dagger slipped in

Who can save you from what you desire?
Chances faded and vanished from sight
I concede that you smothered the fire
Everything's wrong and I can't make it right
But you'll remember

There's a place without pity
Somewhere quiet and still
In your mind where a voice so softly
Tells a tale of a runaway will

You can digitize your dignity
And cast your soul to The Everywhere
But in the end there's only one tragedy
And it's your empty vacant stare

You can change where you are
You can satisfy your pride
But you'll always chase your peace from afar
'Til you cast out the demons inside

...you can lie...
...you can change...
