A liar's truth - The Downward Spiral

Ignite the silence in me
Set me on fire and watch me burn down in the flames
When did things get so dire?
The higher I get the more I forget
The low hides in fire and the high is a liar
It talks, it speaks to me
But believe that it will deceive

It tells me things that I want to believe
It tells me things that I need to be true
But it betrays everything it says
It gives me everything
And leaves me with nothing

It talks, it lies, it feeds on my cries
I know that someday it will take my life
The downward spiral now in full throttle
And with no helping hand I am reaching for the bottle

It tells me things that I want to believe
It tells me things that I need to be true
But it betrays everything it says
It gives me everything and leaves me with nothing
It lies to my ear things I want to hear
Promising me a place where there is no fear
But it betrays everything it says
It gives me everything
And leaves me with nothing
But regret!

Ignite the silence in me
Set me on fire and watch me burn down in the flames
The higher I get the more I forget
The high is a liar
Yes the high is a liar
