Текст песни: Stabilo. Flawed Design.

When I was a young boy, I was honest
And I had more self control
If I was tempted I would run

Then when I got older
I began to lie to get exactly
What I wanted, when I wanted it
And I wanted it

Now, I'm having trouble
Differentiating between
What I want and what I need
To make me happy

So instead of thinking, I just act
Before I have a chance to contemplate
The consequence of action

And I will turn off and I will shut down
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
And I will turn off and I will shut down
The chemicals are restless in my head

'Cause I lie, not because I want to
But I seem to need to all the time
Yeah, I lie and I don't even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design

And ever since I figured out
That I could control other people
I've had trouble sleeping
With both eyes closed

And if I asked permission
If I make sure it's okay
I promise I won't slip up this time
You can trust me

But never take advice from someone
Who just admitted to being devious
Who just confessed to treason

And I would also never ask a question
That I cannot ask myself
For it might dirty up your conscience

'Cause I lie, not because I want to
But I seem to need to all the time
Yeah, I lie and I don't even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my

And how can you say those things
Why can't you just believe
And how can you say those things
And keep a straight face

And how can you say those things
Why can't we just believe
And how can you say those things
And keep a straight face

And I will turn off and I will shut down
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
And I will turn off and I will shut down
The chemicals are restless in my head

'Cause I lie, not because I want to
But I seem to need to all the time
Yeah, I lie and I don't even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my

'Cause I lie and if I could control it
Maybe I could leave it all behind
Yeah, I lie and I don't even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
