OJR - Play Crack the Lie Lyrics

I wrote my first song with you in mind
I was 12 years old, it was 2005
A friend burned me a CD, said to listen to it all
He scribbled in Sharpie what the record was called
Already heard
I hung on every word
And now we're neighbors
Are you the monster it means you must be?
Have you taken the time
To change the sickness inside?
Or are you still weak?
(Play crack the lie)
Are you still weak?
(Play crack the lie)
Are you still weak?
Through all of the heartache, all the tears that I cried
Sixteen in the suburbs, my sensitive eyes
And you were our guy, to shine the light with a ballpoint pen
When you talked to Christ, I was listening in
Already heard
I hung on every word
And now we're neighbors
I saw you walking out of Kroger last night
And I wondered if you might
Have killed the Devil inside
Or are you still weak?
(Play crack the lie)
Are you still weak?
(Play crack the lie)
Are you still weak?
Stephen got married when I was 14
I was fallin' in love with a girl named Casey
But I took too long to untie my words
And she moved on before I found the courage
So I stayed in every night, felt fatal in bed
Your Favorite Weapon was playin' in my head
And all the pain you sang I shared in too
Till I would lie awake hopin' one day maybe you
Could sing my songs like I sang yours
And be a friend to me, you could be my mentor
But everything changed when the truth came out
And the seeds you planted lay dead in the cold ground
In the ground, in the ground, in the ground
