I Told A Lie

by Amateur Ornithologist

lyrics

I told a lie
You wouldn’t mind
You’d prefer my quick “I’m fine”
We could talk one hundred times
But always say the same lines

Sinful impulse
A bird ensnared
And I’m pulling hairs

I told a lie
I’ll tell you why
It’s that or scream and shout or cry
The other way is you could try
See things from a new side

Sinful impulse
A bird ensnared
And I’m pulling hairs
And I’m pulling

And I hear them talking backwards
I can hear them talking

I told a lie
And said I’m shy
That’s an easier answer why
I tend to slink away and hide
I'd never want to waste time

Sinful impulse
A bird ensnared
And I’m pulling
And I’m pulling
And I’m pulling hairs
