Cleverly Devised


Here's a message simply stating
How these things work
I'm not up for some big debate
Just listen to me first

How can someone say they're happy
When evidence is clear
I can see behind those sappy
Words I always hear

Bragging always ends in jealousy
And this I know (too well)
Why would someone purposely 
Make people feel so low?

Lies, all lies
A purebred disguise
Lies, all lies
So cleverly devised

Layman's terms, you're in love with yourself
And want us to believe
That we should all pretend we're lesser
That way, you'd be pleased

Well, here's a message for you, dear
I'm not going to conform
I've broke apart from all your 
sycophantic little swarm 

Maybe I just don't like you
And am finally speaking true 
I've got better things to do
Than listen to all your little lies

(Bridge)

Lies, all lies
A purebred disguise
Lies, all lies
So cleverly devised
 
Lies, all lies
(Lies Designed to make us
Lower people feel like this)
A purebred disguise
(To make the rest of us
Want to compete with your "bliss")
Lies, all lies
(I used to worship the ground you walked on
Now I'm much more wise)
So cleverly devised
(These things you spout which makes us jealous
Are cleverly devised)
