Smashing into walls
Cuz you really like the view
Singing to your hatred
Cuz it loves you so true
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie
Practicing your backstroke
Swimming in the gutter
Wearing your deception
A coat of many shudders
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie
Self-preservation
Is the only thing you trust
Throwing friends and lovers
Underneath the bus
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie
Inside out
Your pride is really shame
There's nothing left to hide
There's no one else to blame
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie
