Flawed Design

When I was a young boy

I was honest and I had more self control

If I was tempted I would

Run

Then when I got older I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted when I wanted it

And I wanted it

Now I'm having trouble differentiating between what I want and what I need to make me

Happy

So instead of thinking I just act before I have a chance to contemplate the consequence of

Action

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

The chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lie

Not because I want to

But I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)

Yeah I lie

And I don't even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my

Flawed design

And ever since I figured out that I could control other people

I've had trouble sleeping with both

Eyes closed

And if I ask permission if I make sure it's ok I promise I won't slip up this time you can

Trust me

But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious and just confessed to

Treason

And I would also never ask a question that I cannot ask myself for it might dirty up your

Conscience

Cause I lie

Not because I want to

But I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)

Yeah I lie

And I don't even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my (flawed design)

And how can you say those things why can't you just believe

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face

And how can you say those things why can't we just believe

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground

And I will turn off

And I will shut down

The chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lie

Not because I want to

But I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)

Yeah I lie

And I don't even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my (flawed design)

Cause I lie

And if I could control it

Maybe I could leave it all behind (leave it all behind)

Yeah I lie

And I don't even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my
