Lie
Kristeen Young Lyrics

Out of your bed
Get out of your comfort zone.

Out of your house
Experience new things outside your home.

Out of the hole you're from
Escape from the place that's holding you back.

Don't mind the mess
Don't worry about things being imperfect or chaotic.

Don't miss the bus
Take advantage of opportunities that come your way.

Don't stick out too much
Don't draw too much attention to yourself.

Check your checkbook
Evaluate your financial situation.

Check your check list
Make sure you're meeting all of your obligations.

Check if you're still breathing
Make sure you're still alive and not just going through the motions.

You are your age
Age affects how people perceive and treat you.

You are your pay
Your financial status affects how people perceive and treat you.

You have no real say
You feel powerless and unheard.

Swallow your thoughts
Suppress your own ideas and opinions.

Swallow your pride
Suppress your own dignity and self-respect.

Swallow some more comfort
Find ways to numb yourself and feel at ease.

Put it inside
Keep everything to yourself and don't express your emotions.

Move it around
Conceal your feelings and act like everything is normal.

Now have a baby
Start a family as a way to escape from your own issues.

Got the new thing
You've acquired the latest trend.

Got the new talk
You're using the latest buzzwords.

Got you where they want you
You've fallen for the trap set by society and are doing what you're told.

To win the game
Succeeding in life means playing the game society has set up.

Don't play the game
Rebel and refuse to be a pawn in society's game.

Just play your own game
Forge your own path and make your own rules instead of following others.

What will (what) set (yes) you (ooh) free?
What will bring you true freedom?

Lie
Deceive yourself and others.

For new life
A way to start fresh.

If I
If I can convince myself.

Think it, sell it, then I own it
If I can convince others to believe me, I'll have the upper hand.

Need some fiction
Seeking out falsehoods to escape reality.

Fake
Live in a world of lies and illusions.

Make or break
Do whatever it takes to maintain control.

Away
Remove yourself from reality and exist in your own fantasy.

Fake it, twist it, front it, spin it
Deceive in any way possible to maintain power.

There's no limit, truth has no use
In the world of lies, you can keep going as far as you want because the truth doesn't matter.

Dress up, lift off
Put on a persona and separate yourself from reality.

Dress up and away
Forget who you are by putting on a facade.

Dress up to not come down
Pretend to be someone else to avoid facing your problems.

Make up your face
Cover up your true self with a mask.

Make up your mind
Decide who you want to be and live that way, even if it's not you.

Make up for lost time
Try to make up for the time you've lost by pretending to be someone else.

Say what you want
Speak your truth, but make sure it's the acceptable version.

Say it and smile
Convey your message with a smile to not upset others.

Say it in Portuguese
Say it in another language to make it sound more appealing and 'exotic'.

E voce bom?
'And you good?' - trying to connect with someone.

Vindo com mim
'Coming with me' - offering to bring the other person along in the illusion.

Tenho magia
'I have magic' - implying that they have the power to change or create things.

Once was a girl
There was a time when you were idealistic and pure.

I used to know
The idealistic self is now a distant memory.

She could leave her body
She could escape from reality and live in a world of her own.

She saw the hand
She saw the way things were run and how fake it was.

She heard the word
She heard what other people were saying and how it didn't match reality.

But she felt nothing
Despite seeing and hearing everything, the idealistic self is now desensitized and doesn't care anymore.

How can the coop
How can society's expectations make you feel restricted?

Make you cuckoo
Feel insane and powerless.

If you are not inside?
If you don't conform to society's expectations, how can it control you?

How can the truth
How can the harsh reality of life affect you?

Tear you in two
Make you feel torn apart, powerless and lost.

If you can't be found?
If you can't find your own truth and values, how can you function in a society where everything is fake?

Lie
Deceive yourself and others.

For new life
A desire to start fresh and escape reality.

Take or break
Do whatever it takes to get what you want.

I just wanna force some...?
I just want to impose my will on something to feel powerful.

I just wanna get it...?
I just want to obtain something to feel powerful.

I just wanna get out of my head, just wanna make it, please
I want to flee reality and its consequences and just be happy without any struggles.

Has no use
The truth doesn't matter when lying is so much easier and more profitable.
