Mel Bryant - Lie To Me Lyrics

      

Lie to Me
by Mel Bryant & the Mercy Makers

Verse
Is this how you wanted it?
Sexless and plastic
Excess in silicone
Pretty in Percocet
Is this what you dreamed in your glossy magazines?
Tasting like skinny
Kate Moss and nicotine
Is this what it looks like?
Is this how it felt when
Butterfly halter tops
Teased you so merciless
Squeezed you into low rise jeans
That fit better when you eat less

Chorus
Lie to me
Say that you like your face
Stuck still insatiable
Lie and be
Light and unchanging
Bend to their will
So placable
Lie and see
You'll start to bеlieve
This is bettеr than before
Mother, virgin, whore

Verse
Is this all you imagined
When you saw Pamela Anderson
Anna Nicole Smith
No one deserves this
Nine in a tube top
Dudes talking money shots
Breakdowns in trucker hats
You'd never imagine that
This is what it looks like
This is how it feels to become what you feared
When you were younger
Seduced ?
You decide which is worse
You resist when they press
But it's easier to say yes

Chorus
Lie to me
Say that you like your face
Stuck still insatiable
Lie and be
Light and unchanging
Bend to their will
So placable
Lie and see
You'll start to believe
This is better than before
Mother, virgin, whore

Bridge
Smile through the glass
See the audience pass
You're tied to the tracks
They're watching bombshells
Gilded cages to the page six
Sickness is only as real as what it sells
You

 This is what it looks like
This is how it feels to wear that letter
That crimson on your sweater
The crimes of your fathers
The cries of their daughters
You try to resist
But it's easier to stick to the script

Chorus
Lie to me
Say that you like your face
Stuck still insatiable
Lie and be
Light and unchanging
Bend their will
So placable
Lie and see
You'll start to believe
This is better than before
Mother, virgin, whore
