every lie that i have ever been told coalesces and messes with my mind and corrodes my bleach blonde bones every lie that i have ever been told spreads through my chest like thriving ivy and grows and grows and grows “i” before “e” except after “c” the tip of your tongue is for tasting things that are sweet if you believe, you can achieve go compete for your basic needs be anything you wanna be everyone deserves a second chance if you touch that baby bird their mother will never come back your goldfish went to live with her family in the erie canal candy next to the checkout lane is not for sale marriage is heaven, marriage is hell separate but equal, don’t ask don’t tell the killer whales at marineland are balanced and well contrails are chemtrails you can tell by the smell you’ll end up a burnout unless you go to college and once you get there you’ll write exclusively in cursive the tomato is a vegetable flattery will get you nowhere everyone is special hey kid, you deserve a medal anti-fascists are the real nazis (i was just following orders) abortion is basically murder (i was just deciding for her) real men don’t shed tears bubblegum will plague your colon for 7 arduous years you lose most of your body heat through your head better dead than red make america great again bats are blind you’re such a nice guy smoke pot and you’ll die have sex and you’ll get aids, and then die we use just 10% of our brains no pain no gain the rainbow is worth the rain the great wall of china is visible from space she’s in a better place she’s in a better place every lie that i have ever been told is crammed in the back of an 18 wheel tractor-trailer and i’m lying on the road

the devil is my new best friend we hang out every weekend goodbye loaves of bread and fish hello lobster benedict get sunday brunch and play xbox lure fattened lambs from their flocks retweet movie spoilers at midnight release drown the sheep in the mainstream though he’s the lord of darkness he has lightened my harness it's a miracle i survived all this time without satan on my side he lives in an inferno still cooler than you though handles his conflicts with more tact and a fraction of the fake facts you never were as real to me not half as sincere to me as the prince of pure deceit when i get married my best man will be beelzebub cause he’s easier to trust sweet beelzebub when he stabs you he comes from the front oh beelzebub coiled horns and cloven hooves on full display my pal beelzebub you’ll meet him for yourself one day

i don’t want to fight you i’m a pacifist at heart but if you’re gonna start you should know that i know kung-fu i’ve seen every bruce lee yip man one, two, and three i ordered a black belt half off on qvc float like a viceroy sting like a hoverfly mimicking spite in spite of having none firing blanks in range of loaded guns mimicking fight when flight means losing ground no one knows i’ll go down in the first round i don’t want to fight you i’m a pacifist at heart but if you’re gonna start well let me crack this pool cue i should have traded those bar tabs for guitar tabs i should have stayed home for a fraction of the price i could have been just as alone float like a viceroy sting like a hoverfly mimicking spite in spite of having none firing blanks in range of loaded guns mimicking life inside an empty husk mimicking light despite the destined dusk i’m not fishing for sympathy i’m not wishing for certain death in the stripes of a bumblebee and the shade of a hornet’s nest with a stolen identity i am waiting with bated breath i don’t know if it’s allergies or some switch flipped in my head i don’t know if the remedies are worth all the side effects float like a viceroy sting like a hoverfly

fake and sad like a sitcom laugh track or a live set with lights to let you know exactly when to clap you’re not half bad, you’re all bad you're all bad you’re such a bad actor you could have a future at cbs in one of chuck lorre’s incestuous comedy fests you’re two-faced enough to play all two and a half men and you’re immature enough to play young sheldon you’re going down, down, down to LA-ME LA-ME fake and sad like a sitcom laugh track or a live set with lights to let you know exactly when to clap you’re not half bad, you’re all bad you're all bad you want the world to know your name but you’ve never set foot in cheers you think you’re so savage but you’ve never starred in boy meets world or the wonder years you think you deserve a second chance just look at how fuller house turned out you’re all going down to LA-ME LA-ME LA-ME LA-ME fake and sad like a sitcom laugh track or a hack cast who's drained their stash of barely passable story arcs you either die a hit or live long enough to see yourself jump the shark

i'm not confident, man i'm a confidence man scamming myself lying to everyone else i have this recurring dream where you thrust a jewel-encrusted trident through me and we both laugh and laugh and laugh uncontrollably i have this weird fantasy where I'm trapped in a submarine 30,000 ft deep and I'm running out of air to breathe and I feel so guilty that i feel so relieved i get out of bed drop my heavy head there’s a civil war era bayonet stuck through my heaving chest and the grey-green bile drips down my stick-thin legs it collects in a pool until i’ve got nothing left i die and then i wake up but i still feel the effects i'm not confident, man i'm a confidence man scamming myself lying to everyone else i'm not confident, man i'm a confidence man scamming myself lying to everyone else

if you only do one thing today doxx your local neo-nazi and look the other way i have no tolerance for intolerance their swamp monster holler will give your ears cholera oOoOoO i hate your guts ooOOoo i hate my guts i read dostoyevsky in public and hunter x hunter in my bed i regurgitate quotes from large books i’ve never read come on, deep thoughts, impress the ones i love and the ones i want i extract my identity from the media I consume i’m shallow as a kiddie pool and empty as a tomb your words are sperm my mind's a barren womb

together forever my love, i’ve seen the light together forever my scum, i’ve seen the light so write me off and ride on into the night together forever well that’s a goddamn lie together forever at least we tried so write me off and ride on into the night so write me off and ride on into the night i won’t go after you i won’t rally the troops i won’t go after you i won’t unearth the truth i won’t waste my time searching for what’s already dead there’s a price on your head there’s a price on your head it’s nothing you don’t deserve, but it’s a lot more than you’re worth there’s a space in my bed there’s a noticeable divot in my mattress it’s nothing i don’t deserve i just prefer to be mocked with words

there’s just one thing that i might do with any sort of aptitude i take it back cause even that perhaps requires too much tact the rope’s too loose, the gun won’t shoot do i take the red pill or the blue? i youtubed how to tie a noose but ended up with fingers bruised my palms are too smooth crystal balls lose their views tell me who do i call when my future falls through the large medium on small street told me my life was incomplete i could tell she was bluffing, but she just wanted to help me because i was on the edge, see and she walked me back she walked me back she walked me back maybe lies could be a good thing maybe deceit can be healthy maybe my songs aren’t helping and that’s the crux of what scares me

august darts in the garage pop in mason jars pinky fingers tangled in python strangling trust and in a sudden gust of flying dust and hormone soaked debris you left me on the balcony cabbage green and lifeless as a bust i know my life won’t go exactly as i planned i know my feeble deeds can’t stand up to your achievements i’m unsure of the specifics, i don’t own a tweed jacket, i’m no historian i’m disproductive and unglorious but what i know is you were from buffalo and your name was grover cleveland yeah, they built a statue of you and the plaque beneath reads grover cleveland they built a high school on the west side, and the sign above reads grover cleveland they built a highway on the tail end of route 63 between eggert and main and they named it grover cleveland i wrote a song for all the promises i break and i called it grover cleveland your legacy’s been whitewashed immortalized in bronze it looks like it cost a whole lot but you’ll still rust and i’ll still rot your buddy millard fillmore sits across the stairway two lovers intertwined flank his base whispering sweet nothings locked in glacial embrace heaven knows i’m clinical now invisible, divisible, hospitable now! but somehow you open up your mouth your metal lips split and a voice pours out believe you me, kid the media spins facts so fast you need a dramamine twists em and dips em in kerosene they unleash the disease and sell ya the vaccine i’ll never hurt myself or anyone else ever again i swear i’ll be a better friend i’ll have your money by tomorrow and from this day forward, you will be my number one priority i’m going to donate 10% of my paycheck to the conservation efforts of the giant panda i’m going to plant a tree i’m going to show mercy to the next spider i see i promise to become the very best i can be i promise to never get angry and leave i promise to always stand up for the weak i promise the end will justify the means i remember reading nietzsche in english 301 metaphors are lies, words are lies, all language is a lie and at the time i found him long-winded and pretentious but now that i am long-winded and pretentious, i think he might have been right when i die and pass to the other side every person i’ve ever let down will be laid out on a giant cosmic dartboard you will be the double bullseye and i will be the triple twenty and i will hurl the shards of every promise i’ve ever broken for all eternity i spit a bitter mix of fact and fiction explicit diction cause i’m fucking terrified that you won’t be impressed by my lyrics self-indulgent muck precocious, genius kind of stuff sometimes i forget which lines i’ve lived and which i completely made up

every lie that i have told grows like mold inside the walls cholesterol in ventricles pinholes in the outer hull and every lie that’s slipped my lips brought comfort like a morphine drip till i became a true addict i always pick the quickest fix (every lie that i have ever told) (every lie that i have ever told) every ill-conceived untruth let loose in my foolish youth flew like fugitive balloons popped and turned to turtle food and all the tall tales that i spread fall like slaughtered hydra's heads sprawl like silken spider webs stall like centrist sedatives (every lie that i have ever told) (every lie that i have ever told) every lie i've ever told has far outgrown my student loans i’ll pay for both until i’m old i’ll reap more than i’ve ever sown every lie that kept me warm congealed into a buzzing swarm revealed my true and gruesome form a blacklight in a college dorm every single lie that i have told all conspire and revolt overthrow my phony throne
