Tell those stories to me
i'm dying to hear the things you've done and seen
farfetched as they may be
you strike a smile in me
your stories ring of perjury
constructed of self empowering theme
{chorus}
sucking on my brain
you're the teacher, i'm the student
turning things around
you story's not congruent
tabloid decoys
pitiful excuses
turning things around
you're turning things around!
A manic stunning scene
i'm taking notes
you're taking me away
into your false reality
i know your comfort lies in lying
to try to make your life make sense
but you're not making sense
{chorus}
I'd say it aloud
but i'm not allowed
i see your head
spin round and round
broken record talk tonight
skip that needle back and forth on your mind
wearing out unconvincing lies
Like a seedling dropped from and old oak tree
your shade don't hide no sun from me
fake stories humor me
it's graduation time
i love you like a mother
{chorus}
