two nickles

from one by Karn K Music

/

lyrics

think i’ve been lied to one too many times.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.
there isn’t any way to know, when you’re holding at fools gold.
when all you hear, is what you’re told.

how many lies have there been. how many lies until the end.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.

what is it about my face, that brings the actor to the stage.
by the time we’ve reached act two, there’s only a ghost of you,
the truth has left without a trace.

how many lies have there been. how many lies until the end.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.

must look like a pigeon in a pen. magician seems to know the words missing from my head.
the words of a dove, feels like i’m watching from above.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.

think i’ve been lied to one too many times.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.

the walls are painted like the sky. the sky is hiding in disguise.
and still you can’t believe what you’re shown.

how many lies have there been. how many lies until the end.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.

jaded green medallions hang guarding everything.
the ice keeps getting thin.

holding nothing falling in. can’t trust two nickels for a dime.
all the brilliant ones know the answers where they stand.
they haven’t got the question by the hand.

how many lies have there been. how many lies until the end.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.
think i’ve been lied to one too many times.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.

catch the pain in a pail. drop it down a well.
maybe drowning in fresh water will break the liars spell.

how many lies have there been. how many lies until the end.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime.
think i’ve been lied to one too many times.
can’t trust two nickels for a dime. (can’t…)(can’t…)

Love to tell stories, let the movie play in your head. Wrote my first song driving in the middle of the night. No light to write by, so I had to sing the poem that was in my head to try to remember it. By the time i got home, I had my first song.
