Paper to Dictation

[Verse 1]
Just the other day
I was lost in conversation
Amongst myself
From everything including castration
All the things I wish I would've said to dictation
I would've recognized the words
To paper as they were written
For the sake of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep turning it over
Till the meaning goes thin
I know I was there
But I don't know where I've been

[Chorus]
Lie to me
Tell me I'm sane
Lie to me
And tell me I'm hanging in
Lie to me
Say it again
Lie to me
'Til I can breathe

[Verse 2]
Across the cosmos
I'm holding the cards
Riding rockets and and spaceships to Mars
Taking off like shooting stars
Shooting stars
My head's a small room
With the door held shut
I keep knocking from inside
But it never wakes me up

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep turning it over
Till the meaning goes thin
I know I was there
But I don't know where I've been

[Chorus]
Lie to me
Tell me I'm sane
Lie to me
And tell me I'm hanging in
Lie to me
Say it again
Lie to me
'Til I can breathe

[Bridge]
If I said it out loud
Would it cut me clean?
Would the truth wear my face
Or disappear between?
I don't need forever
Just a hand on the wheel
Just one clean answer
To make this feel real

[Final Chorus]
Lie to me
Tell me I'm sane
Lie to me
And tell me I'm hanging in
Lie to me
Say it again
Lie to me
'Til I can breathe
