In the Shape of a Lie

He talks about yesterday like it never happened
All the reasons why are just Pig Latin
Stories told from a silver tongue
Shake your head ‘cause it’s too far flung

Call him misery, call him trouble
Call him up to no good, maybe even the devil
When he starts to speak, don’t be surprised
His mouth is always formed In the Shape of a Lie

Might as well say it’s raining when the sun’s shining down
Or say the earth is flat when we all know it’s round
Like a spider web woven from burlap and silk
His stories have holes that can never be filled

Call him misery, call him trouble
Call him up to no good, maybe even the devil
When he starts to speak, don’t be surprised
His mouth is always formed In the Shape of a Lie

We all get to choose between evil and good
If he wanted to change, I believe he could
But how does he untangle the moon from the sun
Or undo the damage he’s done
Undo the damage he’s done

Call him misery, call him trouble
Call him up to no good, maybe even the devil
When he starts to speak, don’t be surprised
His mouth is always formed In the Shape of a Lie
His mouth is always formed In the Shape of a Lie
