Marionettes - The Lie

Flashes in the sky are leaving
Lines on the broken TV
And I wonder if it could be me

Glass somewhere inside is breaking
A future we will never see
And I wonder if it could be me

That saves you from the grieving this evening

But of course I prefer the lie
Of course I prefer the lie
Of course I prefer the lie
Why wouldn't I?

Sugar on our tongues and heartstrings
Out of sight and evening light
We are reaching afraid to hold tight

Much easier to conjure meaning
Across impossible divides
No competing safe on all sides

So I fall into deceiving this evening

But of course I prefer the lie
Of course I prefer the lie
Of course I prefer the lie
Why wouldn't I?

Carve it upon my tombstone
Inlaid gold and broken bone
I can do this on my own
I can do this on my own

And I won't stop believing this evening

Of course I prefer the lie
Of course I prefer the lie
Of course I prefer the lie
Why wouldn't I?
