Steemit Open Mic Week 75 - Lies (Original by Stephen Martin and Jessica Manis)

My sister Jessica and I wrote this song A long time ago. I just recently put an album out and it's featured on the album. You can find the album on Bandcamp. There is also an instrumental version that I'm singing to on my YouTube channel. I hope you like it.

LIES

I'm tired of waiting, anticipating the lies I tell myself
Truths that are possibly never going to be anything but the lies I tell myself*

I think I bit off more than I can chew this time
Never going to be, anything but the lies I tell, oh the lies I tell myself

I tell, I tell, I tell a lie...

I started seeing so now I'm believing the lies I tell myself
It always seems that the worst mistakes keep leading me to the lies I tell myself

Think I live a life consumed of lies
Never going to be free of all the lies I tell, oh the lies I tell myself.

I tell, I tell, I tell a lie...

And it may just take a little longer
But this feeling is growing ever stronger
I've been on the outside for so long now
It seems enough to make it somehow
And even if my world turns backwards
I've got enough soul to take it up words
And if you hear me screaming in the night
Know that everything is all right
'Cause I

I tell, I tell, I tell a lie...
I tell lies
