[Verse 1]
We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All the hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then
I'll say the words out loud
[Chorus]
You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore
[Verse 2]
Time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract, convictions read
I may perplex but I'm not blind
[Pre-Chorus]
So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up, and then
I'll say the words out loud
[Chorus]
You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore
[Bridge]
I'll say the words out loud
I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation, frustration, elevation, procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more
[Outro]
You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore
We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All the hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then
I'll say the words out loud
[Chorus]
You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore
[Verse 2]
Time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract, convictions read
I may perplex but I'm not blind
[Pre-Chorus]
So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up, and then
I'll say the words out loud
[Chorus]
You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore
[Bridge]
I'll say the words out loud
I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation, frustration, elevation, procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more
[Outro]
You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore
