Lie Back

The back and forth
Stuck in a passive war
With an emotional score
You show you mine
And I'll show yours

How could I go up to your face and lie like that
Know we get too comfortable
Nothing to confront at all
One and the same we attract then we react
and I don't feel too bad
Cause you'd go and lie back

Can't keep the pace
our conversations syncopate
When lies ricochet
off of you and on to me

I always kept our promises
So I shy away from what honest is
I skip the truth as a caution
a bad synopsis
Nothing wrong with it

How could I go up to your face and lie like that
Know we get too comfortable
Nothing to confront at all
One and the same we attract then we react
and I don't feel too bad
Cause you'd go and lie back

A romantic kind of apathy
Stuck to a neutrality
Parts of us just slowly leave
While I still have you next to me
Living in a memory
of what this was supposed to be
Loss that doesn't end with grief
So there's no apology

How could I go up to your face and lie like that
Know we get too comfortable
Nothing to confront at all
One and the same we attract then we react
and I don't feel too bad
