Liars

Appears on Souvenirs

You never fear the fire but you’re still drawn to dread the match 
Kinetic is a pleasure when potential fights you back 
Oh, imagination, how you dream up all the worst 
When every situation isn’t really as rehearsed 

When the winds prevail then you seem to grin and bear 
But when everything is quiet then you fear the peaceful air 
Lover of destruction, here to draw up all the plans 
Breaking what you love to try and fix it all again 

Oh, you liars keep on selling me your peace 
That makes me so uncomfortable when I should be at ease 
Oh, you liars keep on selling me your peace 
That makes me so uncomfortable when I should be at ease 

Your eyes won’t keep from searching for a signal in the night 
‘Cause trying to be still could mean an evening ill-designed 
Gardener of disaster, trimming hedges for your bets 
Pruning all the weeds to make sure no one else gets in 

Oh, you liars keep on selling me your peace 
That makes me so uncomfortable when I should be at ease 
Oh, you liars keep on selling me your peace 
That makes me so uncomfortable when I should be at ease 
Oh, you liars keep on selling me your peace 
That makes me so uncomfortable when I should be at ease 
Oh…
