There's a science

I am the scary

There's
no one but you
standing

Leave the pity and the blame
for the ones who

You write the words and
make believe there is
truth in the
space be
tween

Give us all what we

Give us

In the

Sometimes a lie
is the best thing
Sometimes a lie
is the best thing
Oh, the best thing
Is the best thing
