There are lies. There are damnable lies.

And there are pretty lies you want to live inside forever.

You want them whispered to you. You want to hear them in your dreams. You want to find them scribbled on notes and stuck on the refrigerator in the morning.

And when they’re just a fading, bittersweet memory… you long to hear them again — one more time.

THE WORLD OF LIES

Meet me in the world of lies
let’s be hypnotized…

You know that love
is just a foolish game
it always fades away
I know that you won’t stay
but at least you’re here today

Meet me in the world of lies
let’s be hypnotized
Something in me dies
every time a dream slips by

I know that I’ll always be alone
I know life is just to die
a wise man gives up the world
but I guess I’m just not that wise

Meet me in the world of lies
let’s be hypnotized
Don’t let this dream die
meet me in the world of lies
