How To Lie
6HOST Lyrics

You get to walk out
You have the option to leave the situation

if not then then there’s nothing to talk bout
If you can't leave, then there's nothing left to discuss

chances now you wanna fold
Now you're inclined to give up

the line has gone cold
Communication between us has deteriorated

baby I’m sorry you’ll just have to calm down
I apologize, but you need to relax

hate those two words and ‘I’m wrong’ count
You despise those two phrases and the admission of fault

backwards from 10 till the thoughts drown
Count backwards from 10 to silence the overwhelming thoughts

wondering until you’re old
Continuously pondering until you're old

do I fit the mold?
Do I meet the expected standards?

is it enough to be just safe and sound
Is it satisfactory to merely be secure and stable?

is it too much like you’re stuck in the ground
Does it feel suffocating, as if you're trapped?

is it the touch of someone not allowed
Does it involve the forbidden touch of another person?

you’ve heard all the stories think
You've heard all the rumors and speculations

you’re just ignoring I’m who they’re about
You're intentionally disregarding that those stories are about me

let’s put them to rest now
Let's finally end the rumors

has it been too long to forget now
Has it been too much time to forget now?

salvaging what you have left wow
Trying to save the remains, it's impressive

you’re too scared to leave
You're too afraid to walk away

but don’t want to stay
But you don't desire to remain either

You’ll have to learn how to lie
You must acquire the skill of deception

learn how to lie
Acquire the ability to deceive

learn how to lie
Master the art of falsehood

I can’t teach you to lie
I am unable to instruct you in the art of deception

teach you to lie
Educate you on the art of lying

teach you to lie
Teach you the skill of deceit

I’ll get my shit right
I'll fix my own problems

get into something that fits like
Involve myself in something that feels comfortable like

the jacket I bought at your store
Referring to a jacket purchased from your store

that you never wore
That you never put on

don’t know why i guessed that you
I'm not sure why I assumed that you

wanted it in white
Preferred it to be white

black is the color of sin I’m
Black represents sin, and I am

back in your covers again, why
Returning to your embraces once more. Why?

it never felt holy before
It never felt sacred previously

and now even more
And now, it feels even more so

think I’ll know wrong when the lights aren’t dim
I believe I'll recognize my mistakes under different circumstances

I just miss signs and go out on whim
I simply overlook indications and act on impulse

I just miss you and the clutch of your limbs
I just miss you and the embrace of your limbs

feel safe in the presence of
Experience a sense of security in the company of

every new crevice I find myself in
Every new situation I find myself in

can we get the check please
May we request the bill, please

I need you to change or accept me
I require you to either change or embrace me as I am

my turn and you can’t redirect me
Now it's my turn, and you can no longer steer me away

you’re too scared to leave
You're too afraid to depart

but don’t wanna stay
But you don't want to remain either
