Only Lyin

Today is no different
Than any other day
The shadows above us
Are distant and gray
The algae is slimy
And the water is dark
I wish we weren’t goldfish
I wish we were sharks
And you, you laugh
Despite yourself
You’re hanging on
You’re weak as hell
The beer you drank
Has left a stain
And you--you're only lying to you
I want a do-over
I want it erased
Those things kept inside me
The information I’ve saved
The world beats around me
To a different tune
I’m a worthless computer
I wish I was you
And you, you laugh
Despite yourself
You’re hanging on
You’re weak as hell
The beer you drank
Has left a stain
And you--you're only lying to you
Take a picture
It won’t look so bad
Don’t try to look
In the mirror
Everything is easy
If you ask
The world is so much clearer
You’re only lying to you
Today is no different
Than any other day
The power is running
The children are safe
Nothing can equal
The love that she adds
You’re in first place now
Why do you feel last?
