Lies can kill

solo : *aggresive overdrive, dive bomb, whammy bars*

Verse 1

I saw it all...

A Tuesday at nine.

A guy with a knife...

And another on the ground.

The cops knocked on my door...

Said: you gotta talk.

If you tell the truth...

An innocent man walks.

Pre-Chorus

But if I open my mouth...

They'll come for me.

The street has a memory...

And it don't forget easily.

Chorus

Lies can kill...

But so can the truth.

Lies can kill...

I'm the proof.

One goes free...

One gets dead.

Lies can kill...

Right in my head.

Verse 2

The innocent man...

Sits in his cell.

He's got a family...

Waiting as well.

But if I say his name...

And point my finger.

I'm the one...

Who won't make it next month.

Pre-Chorus

The snitch is a target...

With a bullet with his name.

I've seen it before...

It's always the same.

Chorus

Lies can kill...

But so can the truth.

Lies can kill...

I'm the proof.

One goes free...

One gets dead.

Lies can kill...

Right in my head.

Outro

I walked into the courthouse...

With my hands in my pockets.

I saw the family crying...

And the guilt in my throat.

I told the truth that day...

And the innocent walked.

Now I look behind me...

Every time I hear a sound.

Lies can kill...

But I chose the pain.

Lies can kill...
