it's all a lie　　the lips of time, they k**s again　　when i walk alone, into the night　　they know my voice, they know my name　　my nedd for love, my fera of heights　　so i keep my wit, my running game　　my shoulders straight and chin up high　　but it's all a lie　　it's all a lie　　and i forget how the time, it flies　　when, my fingers crossed, i hope in vain　　that you'll be home with sleepy eyes　　to fix it all, cause you konow my pain　　and i forget how the time, it flies　　when the day ** long, and it keeps me dry　　cause it's all a lie　　there's no perfect way to clear the mess　　we both a past, in a silver frame　　see, my heart, it died, a slow weary death　　in the tainted arms of another man　　but you and i we're no different　　than the rest of the world　　when the monring rings　　everyone wants a piece of the love of god　　and everyone sings....everyone sings　　i know you can tell that i can't help myself　　but i can't help myself　　cause it's all a lie　　it's all a lie　　the lips of time, they k**s again　　when i walk alone, into the night　　they know my voice, they know my nam　　my need for love, my fear of heights　　but seen i'm not different than the rest of the world　　when the morning rings　　i just want a piece of the love of god.　　_________________________________　　lay your head down　　it seems like every story told about us **n't meant to be　　you fly on wings of gold all the way back home to me　　but what i'm thinking of just th** time　　why don't you lay your head down in my arms, in my arms　　lay your head down in my arms, in my arms　　you know my love th** ** no dream of mine　　but the way you ride those w**es makes me want to follow you blind　　and what i'm thinking of just th** time　　why don't you lay your head down in my arms, in my arms.　　lay your head down in my arms.　　lay your head down in my arms, in my arms　　lay your head down, in my arms.　　_________________________________　　in your back　　come tell me your story to unload your glorious grief　　where you are the valet of honour and i am the thief　　and don't ever mention the stains that you left on my track　　how from a beautiful gril i became someone ruined and wrecked　　it was all in your back　　all in your back　　so i spin in the dance of your absence and put on a show　　but why do i smile baby, you of all people should know　　the one that you loved　　died a long time ago　　you can't do me wrong with charity until　　you'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will　　but with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill　　your version of glory ** dark and it's covered with sin　　and i wanna dive in an ocean of pink tourmaline　　i've seen the pure souls they ex**t and they fly　　i think i could live with it, i know i can now　　you can't do me wrong with charity until　　you'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will　　but with your voices and melodies you kill, you kill　　it's funny how now that i'm not in the palm of your hand　　you're still running blindly to s**e me again and again　　but i don't need a friend　　no, i don't need a friend　　you can't do me wrong with charity until　　you'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will　　but with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill　　_________________________________　　the harder ships of the world　　tell me my friend　　do you still break the hearts ?　　do you still put the crowds under your spell ?　　i'v lived in a trial　　some inv**ible storm　　now i'm back in the land, and i m**s you as hell　　i see roads of light　　close to me, close to me　　i'm riding on...　　we sail the harder ships of the world　　to the greater grips of the land　　and we get closer to nowhere　　you know we ran to the shores　　and lost in the race　　but they're all standing tall, humble and br**e　　then i had dreams of you here　　you were rockin' the place　　begging to s**e what's left to s**e　　i hear voices sing　　close to me, close to me　　i'm riding on...　　we sail the harder ships of the worlds　　to the greater grips of the land　　and we get closer to nowhere　　we sail the harder ships of the world　　to the greater grips of the land　　to the further lights of the soul　　the harder ships of the world　　the harder ships of the world　　the harder ships of the world　　_________________________________　　it ain't no crime　　don't say nothin'　　i'll speak for two　　i'll do the lying　　you just walk through　　it ain't no crime　　that's what we do　　ain't that
