"When I was a young boy, I was honest
And I had more self control
If I was tempted I would run
Then when I got older I began to lie
To get exactly what I wanted
When I wanted it...and I wanted it
Now I'm having trouble differentiating
Between what I want and what I need
To make me happy
So instead of thinking I just act
Before I have a chance to contemplate
The consequence of action
And I will turn off
And I will shut down
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
And I will turn off
And I will shut down
The chemicals are restless in my head
Cause I lie
Not because I want to
But I seem to need to all the time
(Need to all the time)
Yeah I lie
And I don't even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design"
