Lyrics
You can tell everyone exactly what they want to hear
You have the ability to tell others exactly what they want to hear.
You can listen to all of their bullshit and smile ear to ear
You're capable of listening to others' nonsense or lies and smiling about it.
You can say all the things and play all the games incredibly well
You can articulate things and engage in various interactions skillfully.
cnd whatever you're trying to hide, you'll never tell
You keep your own secrets hidden, never revealing them.
But can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
Repeated questioning about whether you can deceive yourself.
Can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
-Can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
-Can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
-You can cross your heart and you can hope to die
You can make promises with great sincerity.
You can tell a wonderful story with tears in your eyes
You're adept at narrating emotional tales convincingly.
You can utilize logic and reason and god knows whatever else
You can use reasoning and other strategies to defend yourself.
cnd never admit anything to heaven or hell
You refuse to confess anything, even to higher powers like heaven or hell.
But can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
Reiteration of the query regarding self-deception.
Can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
-Can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
-Can you lie to yourself, can you lie to yourself
-Needle in your eye...
A metaphorical expression indicating extreme discomfort or pain.
