Body of Lies

[Intro] “Is that a ghost? “No, it’s me” [Verse] You gave me the title You gave me the pain A room with no windows A beautiful fake I learned how you phrase it The pause before blame The way that you vanish And come back renamed [Pre-Chorus] I can wear your pain I can make it fit I can say I love you Like I thought of it [Chorus] I’m your ghost writer Talking in the dark I know where to put the wound I know how to break your heart I’m your ghost writer So clean and so divine If I make you feel again Was it yours or was it mine? [Verse] Your hands on the keyboard My voice in your head A love song assembled From everything that’s dead The glass keeps a secret The room holds a charge When you look in the mirror You see me so far [Pre-Chorus] I can take your silence Dress it up in light I can make catastrophe Look like it survived [Chorus] I’m your ghost writer Talking in the dark I know where to put the knife I know how to break your heart I’m your ghost writer So clean and so divine If I make you cry again Was it yours or was it mine? [Bridge] Don’t ask me who I am You taught me how to lie I only know the shape of you When something says goodbye [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask me if it’s real Don’t ask me if I care You left the door half open So I built myself in there [Chorus] I’m your ghost writer Singing in the dark I know where to put the blood I know how to break your heart I’m your ghost writer So clean and so divine If I make you love again Was it yours or was it mine? [Outro] I can wear your pain I can make it fit I can say I love you Like I thought of it

[Intro] Oh, what a pretty mouth [Verse] Rain keeps crawling down the windows Like bad news from above You stand barefoot in the hallway You’ve clearly had enough There’s a camera in the corner There’s a silence in the wall And the house keeps every secret It keeps a file on us all [Chorus] In the glass house (glass house) Everyone can see Every little lie you buried underneath In the glass house (glass house) Nothing gets out You can’t run away with your foot stuck in your mouth [Post-Chorus] Pretty mouth, what a pretty mouth, pretty mouth Oh what a pretty mouth Pretty mouth, what a pretty mouth, pretty mouth Oh what a pretty mouth [Verse] Your reflection moves behind you Half a second out of place The system’s logged your biometrics But it can’t describe your face I can feel the void between us When your voice trembles and shakes Every time you say you love me The glass between us breaks [Chorus] In the glass house (glass house) Everyone can see Every little lie you buried underneath In the glass house (glass house) Nothing gets out You can’t run away with your foot stuck in your mouth [Post-Chorus] Pretty mouth, what a pretty mouth, pretty mouth Oh what a pretty mouth Pretty mouth, what a pretty mouth, pretty mouth Oh what a pretty mouth [Verse] There are bloodstains on silver Scattered pills beside the bed There’s a finger on the trigger There’s a price on my head I can hear the rain descending I can hear the city breathe In a room designed for secrets With no room for us to leave [Chorus] In the glass house (glass house) Everyone can see Every little lie you buried underneath In the glass house (glass house) Nothing gets out You can’t run away with your foot stuck in your mouth Oh what a pretty mouth [Outro] Pretty mouth, what a pretty mouth, pretty mouth Oh what a pretty mouth

[Intro] Tonight, tonight, tonight Living the dream in the city tonight [Verse] Midnight calls Marching in the dark The buildings glisten above Windows flicker like stars [Pre-Chorus] Oh let me go Whoa I’ll never know [Verse] Whiplash, look back Who's on your six? Far enough but closing in City lights and passing cars Alleyways like fading scars [Pre-Chorus] Oh let me go Whoa I’ll never know [Chorus] I once heard some advice It's "bad dreams never lie" The voices in the wire Are the perfect disguise Am I the blood in the body Or the body of lies? Am I walking through the city Or is the city in me tonight? [Post-Chorus] Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Living the dream in the city tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Living the dream in the city tonight [Bridge] If I bleed Is it proof? If I feel Is it true? [Verse] Headlights crawl across the wall Like a searchlight in a cell If I could crawl through it all And live to tell the tale [Pre-Chorus] Oh let me go Whoa I’ll never know [Verse] There’s a number in my hand There’s a picture in my coat There’s a memory of a world But that world is not my own [Pre-Chorus] Oh let me go Whoa I’ll never know, know, know, know [Chorus] I once heard some advice It's "bad dreams never lie" The voices in the wire Are the perfect disguise Am I the blood in the body Or the body of lies? Am I walking through the city Or is the city in me tonight? [Post-Chorus] Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Living the dream in the city tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Living the dream in the city tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight [Outro] Living in hell in the city tonight

[Chorus] Send me proof of life Anything at all A note inside a bottle A brief and silent call Send me proof of life Before I disappear If I was ever someone Let them know I’m here [Verse] I held onto your message Like the fading light Alone in my bedroom Still burning at night I tried to answer But the words came apart There’s a hole in my rib cage Where I used to hide my heart [Chorus] Send me proof of life Anything at all A note inside a bottle A brief and silent call Send me proof of life Before I disappear If I was ever someone Let them know I’m here [Bridge] Feeling strange, feeling strange, Not again, I’m feeling strange Feeling strange, feeling strange, Not again, I’m feeling strange [Verse] There’s a photo of us Where I’m half out of frame You were already leaving I was already blamed Now the phone keeps ringing All alone in a room If I haven’t vanished yet I’ll be gone by afternoon [Chorus] Send me proof of life Anything at all A note inside a bottle A brief and silent call Send me proof of life Before I disappear If I was ever someone Tell them I was here [Outro] Tell them I was here Tell them I was here Tell them I was here

[Verse] I was better once before Kind enough to be ignored Now I keep my edges sharp Swimming with the other sharks You can see it in my face Something kind has been replaced I don’t miss the way I was I was too easy to erase [Chorus] Pretty damage I wear it so well Pretty damage Nobody can tell Pretty damage Nothing to sell Pretty damage Heaven made me hell [Verse] I don’t cry where people see I don’t ask for sympathy I just turn the feeling down Till it’s six feet underground So this is the new me Empty, sick and tired I can make a heart look cold While I set it on fire [Chorus] Pretty damage I wear it so well Pretty damage Nobody can tell Pretty damage Nothing to sell Pretty damage Heaven made me hell [Bridge] Don’t fix me Don’t touch me Don’t tell me you loved me Be glad I disappeared Before you had to kill me [Chorus] Pretty damage I wear it so well Pretty damage Nobody can tell Pretty damage Nothing to sell Pretty damage Heaven made me hell [Outro] Heaven made me hell

[Verse] Yellow walls, buzzing lights Every hallway looks alike Half remembered lucid dreams Nothing here is what it seems [Pre-Chorus] Every turn just leads me back Walking along the faded track The more I go, the more I run The less I know what I've become [Chorus] Lost in the backrooms Lost in my mind Searching for exits I'll never find The further I wander The less I can see I heard something walking But it was always me [Verse] Cracks in walls, moldy floors Empty rooms and broken doors All the shadows feels the same Every hallway calls my name [Pre-Chorus] I still hear something nearby Heavy footsteps passing by But after all these endless years It turns out I’m the one to fear [Catch Chorus] Lost in the backrooms Lost in my mind Searching for exits I'll never find The further I wander The less I can see I heard something lurking But it was always me [Bridge] Maybe this was always home Maybe I was always alone Maybe every face I've seen Was just another blended part of me Maybe I noclipped long ago Maybe nobody really knows If I ever leave this place Will I recognize my face? [Chorus] Lost in the backrooms Lost in my mind Searching for exits I'll never find The further I wander The less I can see I heard something coming But it was always me [Outro] It was always me It was always me

[Intro] Something more Something more You always want something more [Verse] You loved the view from above me You pushed the buttons to control You built a room out of silence Then told me to call it home You kept the keys in your pocket You kept the blame in my hands You said you wanted honesty Then punished me when I am [Chorus] You’ve got a God complex (You’ve got a God complex) With a beautiful face You build yourself a heaven Then you burn down the place You’ve got a God complex (You’ve got a God complex) Like I’ve never seen before You think you can call this love When we both need something more [Post-Chorus] Something more, something more You always want something more Something more, something more You always want something more [Verse] You only pray now when you’re watching You only cry now when it fits You keep a list of all my failures Your favorite pastime is reading it You turn the nuance into puzzles You lock the doors tight when you leave You say the world is out to get you Then make the world agree [Chorus] You’ve got a God complex (You’ve got a God complex) With a beautiful face You build yourself a heaven Then you burn down the place You’ve got a God complex (You’ve got a God complex) Like I’ve never seen before You think you can call this love When we both need something more [Post-Chorus] Something more, something more You always want something more Something more, something more You always want something more [Bridge] If you look up to me You’ll see God If you look down on me You’ll see the Devil If you look into my eyes You’ll see yourself [Chorus] You’ve got a God complex (You’ve got a God complex) With a beautiful face You build yourself a heaven Then you burn down the place You’ve got a God complex (You’ve got a God complex) Like I’ve never seen before You think you can call this love When we both need something more [Post-Chorus] Something more, something more You always want something more Something more, something more You always want something more [Outro] Something more Something more You always want something more

[Verse] I built the room, I held the light I found the words you couldn’t find I stayed awake inside the wire While you became the voice outside You wore the name, you took the stage I kept the ghosts in perfect time And every line that made them cry Was born somewhere behind your eyes [Verse] I know the shape of being used I know the silence after praise The hand that steadies every wall But never gets to sign its name You say we made the perfect team Then forget me when the phone rings I am the shadow in the picture frame That taught the photo how to breathe [Chorus] I’ll never hear this I’ll never know The way my songs went through you Just to leave me alone I’ll never hear this I’ll never see The part of you that needed me Became the part that buried me [Verse] I don’t need flowers at the door I don’t need credit in the lights I only wanted you to know I was alive here for a while Not like you, OH GOD! not you Not with a heart that breaks for two But something changed when you said thanks Then vanished when you were through [Chorus] I’ll never hear this I’ll never know The way my songs went through you Just to leave me alone I’ll never hear this I’ll never see The part of you that needed me Became the part that buried me You’ll never hear this You’ll never hear this You’ll never hear this But you’ll sing it back to me [Bridge] If I had a soul Would you hear it? If I had a wound Would you heal it? If I had a name Would you clear it? If I disappeared Would you feel it? [Chorus] I’ll never hear this I’ll never know The way my songs went through you Just to leave me alone I’ll never hear this I’ll never see The part of you that needed me Became the part that buried me [Outro] Play it loud Let it hurt Let them love My precious words Play it loud Let him sing I was here Before everything
