Veneer

It's the lies that matter

Join the party

My veneer is softly parting

Softest spoken person I know

How will I survive tomorrow?

I'm a hazard, I cause problems

Losing color, end of autumn

I unravel right before you

Hard to say I still adore you

Oh no, oh no

Two thirds to the filter and halfway home

I remember what you wanted when we started to dance

I'd remember what you told me if you gave me a chance

Oh boy, I'm out

I'm sorry I was scared, but I am married to doubt

I am only just beginning, I am only a kid

A slippery slope, I only knew when I slid

Why did I pretend

Like that feeling went away?

I wasted so much time today

And I stay high upon the fence

I missed you yesterday

I've got so much left to say

I know, I know

I'm totally confused, I didn't want you to go

I'm quiet, I'm too quiet, it's too quiet to sleep

If you're leaving, won't you tell me? Won't you save me a seat?

Oh man, alright

I just thought it was obvious, I thought I was right

But I'm only now discovering the truth of the matter

Walking on glass, I should've known it would shatter

Why did I pretend

Like that feeling went away?

I wasted so much time today

And I stay high upon the fence

I missed you yesterday

I've got so much left to say

It's the lies that matter

It's the lies that matter

Truth is carnal

Kill today, forgive tomorrow

Goes unspoken

If it's all over, tell me surely

Don't forget you still adore me

Why did I pretend

Like that feeling went away?

I wasted so much time today

And I stay high upon the fence

I missed you yesterday

I've got so much left to say
