You Were the Lie

Nobody bothered your football games
 I sat alone upstairs, thinking it was not fair
 If not people I thought channels could change
 Sitting here now I see, glowing in front of me
 You were the lie, you were the lie, you were the lie
 Maybe the demons possessed your mind
 Why bother fighting them, they'll only come again
 Or maybe you never even bought your storyline
 You weren't looking for meaning or metaphor
 You were the lie, you were the lie, you were the lie
 I threw out all the pieces that puzzled me
 Cause they never added up to much
 So I didn't know you were still assigned to killing me
 Still aligned with willing me away
 So maybe the best part of life remains
 Maybe it's gonna be, maybe you wait and see
 That's what they tell you, someday we'll all be free
 You shoot it off into space, but it never goes away
 You were the lie, you were the lie, you were the lie
