The candles in the dark keep flickering my name Every halo’s just a logo wrapped in gold and shame They tell me keep the peace, don’t question what you see But every painted saint’s got blood beneath the sleeve Hit the choir with a warning, but they’re singing over me Every truth I try to swallow tastes like blasphemy They say it’s all divine, just fall back in the line But something in the silence doesn’t sound like holy wine They say I’m crossing every line They say I’m running out of time The Eight Lies in my head keep telling me I’m fine Like everything’s designed, like everything’s aligned They say the cracks don’t show, just bury them in white But truth is crucified inside the Eight Lies The Eight Lies in my head say I’m about to (break) Say I should bend the knee before it’s too late They say the doubt will fade if I just close my eyes But I don’t wanna live inside the Eight Lies The preacher says the fear is just a phase I’m in He says confession makes it clean beneath the skin He says I’m almost saved, just sign beneath the line But grace is just a contract dressed in neon light They say the cracks are all inside my little mind They say the storm will pass if I just fall in line They say the fire burns but only for the brave But every single promise sounds like open grave They say I’m losing what I had They say I’m choosing to go bad The Eight Lies in my head keep telling me I’m fine Like everything’s designed, like everything’s aligned They say the cracks don’t show, just bury them in white But truth is crucified inside the Eight Lies The Eight Lies in my head say I’m about to... Say if I question God I’ll lose it all They say the fear is proof that I’m alive But I don’t wanna live inside the Eight Lies They say I’m gonna (burn) They say I’ll never (learn) They say the doubt is just a little phase They say the truth is just a craze They say I’m gonna (break) They say it’s my mistake They say salvation has a price And everything is justified The Eight Lies in my head keep telling me I’m fine Like everything’s designed, like everything’s aligned They say the cracks don’t show, just bury them in white But truth is crucified inside the Eight Lies
