Kezia - This is a Lie

This Song is a Lie [Verse 1] I promised you this song would never lie Then broke that promise with the opening line I’m singing from the heart with both my hands While picking your pocket with a third I don’t have I swore these words were carved in honest stone Then smashed the stone and blamed it on the wind I am the author of the book that eats its pages The writer who forgot what he was writing in [Chorus] This song is a lie that swears it’s true A truth that lies until the lie comes true I’m the sheriff who deputized the man he’s hunting Then hung the jury for believing what I said This song is a lie that believes its own story A story that ends before it even starts I’m the hero who defeated himself in battle Then gave the victory speech at his own parade [Verse 2] I left for tomorrow but arrived in yesterday Buried my future where the map said “X marks nothing” I killed the man I was before I became him Then mourned the stranger at his own funeral I am the exception that broke every rule By following them perfectly in reverse I won the game by refusing to play it Then lost the game by winning it first [Chorus 2] [Bridge] Don’t believe a single word I’m singing now Except the part where I warned you not to This sentence is false — but only if it’s true Which means the honest lie is you, and you are lying too [Final Chorus / Outro - big cinematic build, soaring vocals] This song is a lie This song is the truth This song is a paradox Wearing dusty boots I’m the man who doesn’t exist Singing a song that can’t be sung I’m the greatest liar who only tells the truth And if you made it to the end of this Then congratulations — You were never really here
