the joke's on you

our lungs are chokin' in the haze, distortion comes in waves, gotta get away from the lies and the liars, hearts are hand grenades, sharp like razorblades, gotta make a break from the lies and the liars, wind me up and then let me go, a sabotage low in every flow, stacking em up like a domino, knock em all down with a single blow, burn a bridge just to watch it fall, flood the engine to see it stall, things so small make you feel so tall, push my back up against the wall, a tall tale to tell, a hard sale to sell, a break down, you're lying to yourself, a tall tale to tell, you're just an empty shell, a break down, you're lying to yourself, half-truth and lies, empty alibis, cut me down to size, turns out the jokes on you, you can't disguise, better recognize, i won't sympathize, turns out the joke's on you, shoot me down with a ricochet, poison tongue and a price to pay, sweeping down like a bird of prey, to tear me apart right where i lay, turn a question into a brawl, mix some vengeance with alcohol, break my will just to see me crawl, push my back up against the wall, a tall tale to tell, a hard sale to sell, a break down, you're lying to yourself, a tall tale to tell, you're just an empty shell, a break down, you're lying to yourself
