It's All A Lie

[Verse]

The kettle hums

On a Tuesday that will not end

My mother's hands are folding paper

And I cannot remember what I said

I found a photograph

Everyone is standing in a row

Somebody's laughing at the camera

And I don't know where they go

[Pre-Chorus]

So I sit and I stare at the ceiling

Count the cracks and I count my friends

Every promise I ever believed in

Comes around and it bends

[Chorus]

It's all a lie

It's all a lie

The sun comes up and the river runs dry

It's all a lie

[Verse]

The radio plays

A song about a man who leaves

My brother's gone to Birmingham

And he never writes to me

I read the evening news

A general shakes a general's hand

They build a wall and they call it peace

And nobody understands

[Pre-Chorus]

So I sit and I stare at the ceiling

Count the cracks and I count my friends

Every promise I ever believed in

Comes around and it bends

[Chorus]

It's all a lie

It's all a lie

The sun comes up and the river runs dry

It's all a lie

[Bridge]

Maybe love is real

Maybe it's the only thing

Maybe love is real

And maybe that's the lie I keep

[Chorus]

It's all a lie

It's all a lie

The sun comes up and the river runs dry

It's all a lie

[Outro]

Mm-hmm

Mm

It's all a lie
