Lust, Lies, And Lyrics

There's no word to say
when everything's wrong
There's no pill to take
that'll make me strong
There's nothing to do
when you're so far away
There's not a thing left
at the end of the day

All there is is lust, lies, and lyrics,
Sinful little notes,
Enemies and "Dearests"
a sadened anecdote.
say, can you hear it?
The sound you can't evade,
my lust, lies and lyrics,
this tragic soul's parade.

There's no line to sing
that can soften the pain
There's no face to make
that conceals the shame
There's no lips to kiss
to replace those you lost
There's no single deed
to make up for the cost.

Just lust, lies, and lyrics,
sinful little notes,
Enemies and Dearests,
In the virgin anecdotes.
Say can you hear it?
the sound you can't evade:
Lust, lies, and lyrics,
The innocence decayed.

There's no touch nor tempest
that can wash away this sin
There's no wound to heal
that isn't festering within
There's no flesh to feel
that can satisfy,
There's no answer here
that can testify

There's just lust, lies and lyrics,
sin in every note,
Lust, lies, and lyrics,
Expired anecdotes.
Say, can you hear it?
The sound you can't evade:
Lust, lies, and lyrics,
A tragic soul's parade.
