Power Lies Lyrics - Personal Life - The Thermals

How did I lose my past 

How did I choose this path 

Why do I hold to my chest 

Every memory I mean to forget 

How can I measure my length 

Where will I find my strength 

Power lies 

How did I find myself on top 

How will I ever know to stop 

When will I learn to defend 

When will I finally see the end 

How can I erase my steps 

How can I fake my death 

How could I (?) to leave 

The air is too clear to breath 

Power lies 

It takes back what you take in time 

Power lies 

How did I lose my past 

How did I choose this path 

Why do I hold to my chest 

Every memory I mean to forget 

How can I measure my length 

Where will I find my strength 

Power lies 

It takes back what you take in time 

(Power lies, power lies) 

It takes back what you take in time 

Power lies 

But it takes back what you take in time 

How would you take in time
