Flawed design

When I was a young boyI was honest and I had more self controlIf I was tempted I would RunThen when I got older I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted when I wanted itAnd I wanted itNow I'm having trouble differentiating between what I want and what I need to make meHappySo instead of thinking I just act before I have a chance to contemplate the consequence ofAction

And I will turn offAnd I will shut downBurying the voices of my conscience hitting groundAnd I will turn offAnd I will shut downThe chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lieNot because I want toBut I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)Yeah I lieAnd I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of myFlawed design

And ever since I figured out that I could control other peopleI've had trouble sleeping with both Eyes closedAnd if I ask permission if I make sure it's ok I promise I won't slip up this time you can Trust meBut never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious and just confessed to Treason And I would also never ask a question that I cannot ask myself for it might dirty up yourConscience

Cause I lieNot because I want toBut I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)Yeah I lieAnd I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of my (flawed design)

And how can you say those things why can't you just believeAnd how can you say those things and keep a straight faceAnd how can you say those things why can't we just believeAnd how can you say those things and keep a straight face

And I will turn offAnd I will shut downBurying the voices of my conscience hitting groundAnd I will turn offAnd I will shut downThe chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lieNot because I want toBut I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time)Yeah I lieAnd I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of my (flawed design)

Cause I lieAnd if I could control itMaybe I could leave it all behind (leave it all behind)Yeah I lieAnd I don't even know itMaybe this is all a part of my Flawed design
