Flawed Design Lyrics - Singles - 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, I'm 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 a 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 don't 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 asked permission 

If I make sure it's okay 

I promise I won't 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 cannot 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 don't even know it 

Maybe this is all a part of my 

And how can you say those things 

Why can't you just believe 

And how can you say those things 

And keep a straight face 

And how can you say those things 

Why can't 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 don't even know it 

Maybe this is all a part of my 

'Cause I lie and if I could control it 

Maybe I could leave it all behind 

Yeah, I lie and I don't even know it 

Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
