"Flawed Design" - Stabilo

When i was a young boy
I was honest and i had more self control
If I was tempted I would run
Then when i got older
I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted when I wanted it
And i wanted it
Now im having trouble differentiating
Between what I want and what i need to make me happy
So instead of thinking
I just act before I have the chance to contemplate the Consequence of action

And I will turn off
And I will shut down
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
And I will turn off
And I will shut down
The chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lie
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Yeah i lie
And i dont even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design

And ever since i figured out that i could control other people
I've had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed
And if i ask permission if i make sure its okay
I promise i wont slip up this time you can trust me
But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being devious
Who just confessed to treason
And I would also never ask a question
That i can not ask myself for it might dirty up your conscience

Cause I lie
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Yeah i lie
And i dont even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design

And how can you say those things why cant you just believe
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face
And how can you say those things why cant we just believe
And how can you say those things and keep a straight face

And I will turn off
And I will shut down
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
And I will turn off
And I will shut down
The chemicals are restless in my head

Cause I lie
Not because i want to but i seem to need to all the time
Yeah i lie
And i dont even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
