Lies I Chose To Believe Lyrics - John Moreland

Well I've gone and lost my faith in photographs 

Cursed those martyrs that mark my past 

And I long for a day when we'll look back and laugh 

About all this 

But good luck finding your peace of mind 

Being born into these brutal times 

And these days I don't pray when I close my eyes 

I just bite my tongue a bit harder 

Cause you were a lie I chose to believe 

A lie I chose to believe

Let's float these gutters up past heaven's gate 

Get me out of these damn desert states 

Did you hear the one about the hand of fate? 

It'll make your heart stop 

Do you ever wish you could just back out? 

Take your nickels and go cash out? 

Forget the faces you've been crying about 

And see where forgiveness takes you? 

Sweet surrender like the break of dawn 

With the map laid out and the arrows drawn 

But I think too much and wait too long 

And I never tell but you know 

How to lift me when I sink too low 

Photos 

Now I've found me a reason to be a man 

Out on the shoulder with an outstretched hand 

Just a little solid ground to stand 

Is all I ever needed 

So I'll shout it out from the heavens above 

Hell ain't nothin' but the devil's drug 

And love ain't a sickness, though I once thought it was 

When I was too surrounded to see
