Flawed Design

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 im 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 the chance to contemplate

the consequence of action

Pre-chorus :

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

Chorus :

Cause I lie

Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time

Yeah i lie

And i dont 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 ask permission if i make sure its okay I promise i wont 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 can not ask myself for it

might dirty up your conscience

Chorus :

Cause I lie

Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time

Yeah i lie

And i dont even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my..

Bridge :

And how can you say those things why cant you just believe

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face

And how can you say those things why cant we just believe

And how can you say those things and keep a straight face

Pre-chorus :

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

Chorus :

Cause I lie not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time

Yeah i lie and i dont even know it

Maybe this is all a part of my..

And i lie, and if i could control it, maybe i would leave this all behind

Yeah i lie, and i don't even know it

D Am Em (final strum)

Maybe this is all a part of my... flawed design
