Jim Brooks - Dishonest
Living in wasted fears
Counting down the years
until they're gone
Singing exhausted tunes
Rhyming words that loose
all their meaning
Reading a book you've never read
but knowing the end
in the back of your mind
Climbing a tree that doesn't end
Wanting to send
your love away
Being led to a cage
with a chain around my throat
You execute your plan to execute me
while convictions of innocence die with age
(Chorus)
Your dry lies will never be the same
Dishonest in every way
Taking me for granted
is the last mistake you'll ever make
I want to make you sorry
Dishonest once again
Balancing the deception
Recognizing opposition
Deflecting a defector
while taking a position
You mix words with oil
and fabrications with water
You overlook the truth
when only truth matters
Behind those eyes
I see the truth
The only truth in you
It's buried deep within
waiting to be revealed
like an unreconciled sin
(Chorus)
Your dry lies will never be the same
Dishonest in every way
Taking what you wanted
is the last mistake you'll ever make
I want to make you see
Dishonest once again
I've tracked every step you've made
from conception to your last day
There's a dark period you try to put away
but it's breaking out
It's much too late
You're about to know
the meaning of the word hate
And I mean nothing
I mean nothing to you
(Chorus)
Your dry lies will never be the same
Dishonest in every way
Thinking only of yourself
is the last mistake you'll ever make
I want to believe
but you'll be dishonest once again
Counting down the years
until they're gone
Singing exhausted tunes
Rhyming words that loose
all their meaning
Reading a book you've never read
but knowing the end
in the back of your mind
Climbing a tree that doesn't end
Wanting to send
your love away
Being led to a cage
with a chain around my throat
You execute your plan to execute me
while convictions of innocence die with age
(Chorus)
Your dry lies will never be the same
Dishonest in every way
Taking me for granted
is the last mistake you'll ever make
I want to make you sorry
Dishonest once again
Balancing the deception
Recognizing opposition
Deflecting a defector
while taking a position
You mix words with oil
and fabrications with water
You overlook the truth
when only truth matters
Behind those eyes
I see the truth
The only truth in you
It's buried deep within
waiting to be revealed
like an unreconciled sin
(Chorus)
Your dry lies will never be the same
Dishonest in every way
Taking what you wanted
is the last mistake you'll ever make
I want to make you see
Dishonest once again
I've tracked every step you've made
from conception to your last day
There's a dark period you try to put away
but it's breaking out
It's much too late
You're about to know
the meaning of the word hate
And I mean nothing
I mean nothing to you
(Chorus)
Your dry lies will never be the same
Dishonest in every way
Thinking only of yourself
is the last mistake you'll ever make
I want to believe
but you'll be dishonest once again
