Song Description

in an attempt to make everyone around us feel better, we try to heal from life-breaking events before we're really ready to. We go out and "date" and pretend to give our heart away again, but it's a lie. but it does keep the do-gooders at bay - there is a comfort in the quiet of the lie.

Lyrics

I still look pretty on your arm
I laugh and smile on cue
I still have all my girlish charm
Those quirky things I do

But if you're my sugar daddy
I'm a candy coated shell
All my insides have melted away
And I guess its just as well

That I'm dying underneath the weight
Of these walls I felt the need to create
I know I could be free
But what would freedom be
There's a comfort in the quiet of this lie

I'm into my ninth life
I guess I'll lose the last to you
I won't pretend that I'll be your wife
Or that this love is true

But its convenient to have a home
So people think I'm not alone
So they'll leave me to myself
Easing into my last hell
There's a comfort in the quiet of this lie

There's a comfort in the quiet of the lie
A solitary solace in these tears that I cry
Behind closed eyes.

I'm empty once again
I guess its time for you to go
You will be the last to leave
Is it comforting to know

That I've died underneath the weight
Of these walls I felt the need to create
And now I will be free
Whatever freedom means
No more need for the shelter of the lie

The comfort in the quiet of the lie
The comfort in the quiet
The comfort in the quiet of the lie
