I Tried Not To Lie To You

1.

During the brightest day

I try not to feel

The rain

Not to feel the rain

 

Beneath the darkest skies

I strive to avoid

The sun

To avoid the sun

 

2.

Into the center of

The earth you´d have to walk

To find

What´s inside my head

 

Beyond the Milky Way

Sometimes I have to fly

To escape

All the thoughts I have

 

Ref.

I lie

To myself

I lie

To everyone else

I try

Not to lie

To you

 

3.

The words of a discontent

With no mouth I must scream

On a trip

In the limousine

 

So this is not my face

So this is not my skin

What you see

Is what I let you see

 

Ref.

I lie

To myself

I lie

To everyone else

I try

Not to lie

To you

 

4.

So where´s the original

And the only grain of sand

Why can´t I

Find it once again

 

Of all the deeds and crimes

That I have committed

Soon I

Will be convicted

 

Bridge:

Hidden feelings

Hidden meanings

Hidden dreams

 

I´m dry in the rain

I get cold in the sun

I´m starving in far-famed

Expensive restaurants

I´m seasick on the road

My instincts are getting blinded

Why all of this spatter

If you´re so open-minded

 

So please tell me now

Tell me how you feel

About my pretty face

About my ugly me

I´m dying tomorrow

Be honest do look straight

At least for this moment

Do not exaggerate

 

And don’t be ashamed

To show the real score

Been given only crust

I want to see the core

Yes you are right

I quite liked you too

Sometimes it was fun

But sometimes I hated you

(My friend)

 

5.

And where is the end of this

And how do we walk by then

Will be we

Innocent again
