So He Begins To Lie

​

The camera's watching

He takes a breath

Even though that they know

That he knows

That they're on to him

He don't break a sweat

No

 

Oh

It grows and grows and grows

Inside of him

There's nothing there

There's nothing there

All along he knows

Those mirrors started to lie to him

His reflection faded

 

The crowd are waiting

He takes the stage

Cross his heart

Hand on heart

Open heart

That he's gone legit

He was never there

No

 

Oh

It grows and grows and grows

Inside of him

There's nothing there

There's nothing there

All along he knows

Those mirrors started to lie to him

His reflection faded

 

As easy as closing his eyes

So he begins to lie

 

The camera's watching

The camera's watching him lie
