Johnny Booth


Counterfeit

Oh God, you're a real bad storyteller
You let another one slip through your teeth

You're spewing fiction
Maintain the fabricated
Misleading gestures
Behind kind remarks
And I cannot walk away

Oh God, you're a real bad storyteller
You let another one slip through your teeth

Cracks between the walls
Impressionable
I can't, I won't breathe next to the liar

Nothing's adding up
Status based on luck
Next in line for another lifetime to waste on each other

I can't just say yes to go by
When the shadow grows shorter at midnight

You wear a costume, when you would buy in
(I can't keep saying yes to go by)

We're dragging under
Just to stand on our own heads
Scriptures
I can't, I won't breathe next to the liar

Just to waste on each other
