Lyrics

What if you take the easy way out?
What if you step out of the shadow of doubt?
You get some pleasure out of telling a lie, but it never can last until the day you die.

Don’t you know it’s gonna catch up to you?
When pushed into a corner, whatcha gonna do?
You think you’ll go on living that way.
But soon you’l find you have nothing left to say.

So many stories that you’re keepin’ track of.
So many lives that you left behind.
So many ways that you changed your mind.
You couldn’t get lost, but you’re fooled by my …

Deception.
It’s not what you think though.
Many forms you can rely on my
Deception.
You’re out on the brink now.
You step wrong and you blow my line.
Deception.
It’s not for the weak, or maybe that’s the point, when you’re strong you don’t need
Deception.

Deception!

How do you plan to lead so many lives?
When lookin’ out of corners through so many eyes.
Focus on direction, there’s no time to look back.
When you stop moving on, that’s when the truth attacks.

Can you start all over in another world?
You turn around and recognize the truth unfurled.
(If) you move fast, there’s no time to catch up, but step to the side and you’ll be out of luck.

It’s gone on too long, you should’ve gotten the point now.
You can’ get through the day on the toss of a coin now.
It’s not loud and clear if there’s no message to send.
You live through the eyes of your family and friends.

Deception.
It doesn’t last long now.
Better be sharp. Better move it along.
Deception.
We’ve (it’s) gotten too close.
I lose touch, but I can’t make it right.
Deception.
The price is too high.
I’m gonna lose it all if I go by my …
Deception.

Deception!

Were you thinkin’, Oh!, he will never find out when you crossed the line and told me a lie?
How’d you think I felt when the truth was betrayed, and the bonds we had were left out to die?
All the ones you hurt, can you look in their eyes, don’t you see that they’re ready to cry?
All this time away, does it make you reflect, or will you fall into the hole that you dug for yourself with …

Deception?
Look away ‘cause it’s closin’ in fast.
Deception.
Always leads to a circular path.
Deception.
You won’t defeat it, will you choose to delay?
Deception.
It’s all in your head now. You can make it right, you can change it today.
