lyrics

We follow to the deadline attire
Ive practiced all the chords and words for weeks
To play to turnouts eventually dire
Yet I hope they will be lining in the streets
Had no hope of gaining fame and fortune
They pay us in bottles of that beer everyone hates
And even though my sound is pretty, in this unforgiving city,
I never seem to say its a mistake

(Make Me a Liar)
Cos I swear to God, Im tired of the truth
A personality that I will use

So Ill push and pull my metal strings
And talk about the petty things in life
Like who we are and where we'll go

And I plan to keep this up for years, though all the pain and all the tears
That this life will throw
Until its my time to go....

Make me feel the passion till my bones are weak and my eyes close to sleeping and I can feel no pain.
