We Prefer the Lie

Falling leaves falling to the ground
They say one hits your head it's luck you've found
So I'm standing in the darkest dim
Looking way up high at those spreading limbs
Bend my mind and find my way deep within

Light the match, set fire to our backs
This burning wood is more than future ash
See how it moves see how it dances bright
It knows you well, it knows it's always right

Don't believe you can outrun it
You can't bribe The Man, he's the one who funds it
And we're all still only guessing where we go when we die
We find our own answers 'cause we can't say gooooooooooodbye

Light the match, set fire to our backs
This burning wood is more than future ash
See how it moves see how it dances bright
It knows you well, it knows it's always right

Hold your truth, we prefer the lie
Don't forget to count your blessings even as your tears run dry
Hold your truth, we prefer the lie
Don't pretend you've learned your lessons
You'll never have enough time
Don't forget to count your blessings even as your tears run dry

Light the match, set fire to our backs
This burning wood is more than future ash
See how it moves see how it dances bright
It knows you well, it knows it's always right

Light the match, set fire to our backs
This burning wood is more than future ash
See how it moves see how it dances bright
It knows you well, it knows it's always right
It knows you well, it knows it's always right
