  • How can I not taste it
    When it's right there put it in my hand
    And let's not put it in their faces
    Hide the obvious just a little bit
    It's coming to this

    You'll know they'll never face it
    They're just a face all covered with a rag
    And they can't stop talking,
    So the bigger it gets
    And yeah they take up space but still nothing's wasted

    A lie is a lie with crossed hearts and hopes to die
    Wo oh oh oh
    You can find me underground
    Where I can't hear a sound
    I watched you get down on your knees
    In hopes that I would turn around
    So now you'll find me underground
    Where I can't hear a sound
    Where I can't hear a sound

    I tried hard to erase it
    I tried not to use it cause' I can
    And don't tell me what a race is
    Cause I can get fucked up more than a little bit
    It's coming to this.

    We pay to watch it wasted,
    They're just a face all covered with a rag.
    And they might keep running,
    But the slower they move.
    And those moves in time with their perfect placement.

    A lie is a lie with crossed hearts and hopes to die.
    Wo oh oh oh
    You can find me underground,
    Where I can't hear a sound.
    I watched you get down on your knees,
    In hopes that I would turn around.
    So now you'll find me underground,
    Where I can't hear a sound,
    Where I can't hear a sound,
    Where I can't hear a sound.

    What can I say,
    I would have gone another way
    Cause that isn't me.
    I was born to fade away.
    It's nothing you did, just something I felt as a kid.
    And now I can't feel
    I can't feel anything at all.
    It's nothing at all,
    I feel nothing at all.
    Nothing at all.

    A lie is a lie with crossed hearts and hopes to die.
    Wo oh oh oh
    You can find me underground
    Where I can't hear a sound
    I watched you get down on your knees
    In hopes that I would turn around
    So now you'll find me underground
    Where I can't hear a sound
    Where I can't hear a sound Writer/s: DANIEL WHITESIDES, JEPH HOWARD, JOHN FELDMANN, QUINN ALLMAN, ROBERT MCCRACKEN
