The Strand - Smoke & Lies Lyrics

Go!
Sending myself to another dead end
Singing the same song on which I depend
Screaming out feelings that feel far away
Boozed up and juiced up, got f*ck all to say
Coughing up blood and downing my sixteenth
Can't ever seem to tell her what I feel
Mountains of muddled up meaningless words
Drowning them out before they can be heard
I can't understand why I've got my mind tied
Got nothing to give but power chords and lies
On my way there and she's on her way home
Wanna feel something but my heart's on loan
Talking myself into speaking nonsense
Call out to nowhere, expecting response
Taking a wrong turn down a one way road
Don't get close to figuring out your code
Try to look for something better to do
Can't understand what I put myself through
I don't understand why I've got my mind tied
I've got nothing to give but power chords and lies
I don't understand why I've got my mind tied
I've got nothing to give but power chords and lies
And I don't understand why I've got my mind tied
I've got nothing to give but power chords and lies
