Brisk as the wind in winter, my heart feels ice cold
As I plunge the depths of self-deception
I've been ignoring the facts and overlooking the signs
I've been blowing off reality, seeking resurrection
And I've been living the lie
Harsh as the frozen waters
I've been blowing off the pain
No sense in seeking refuge nor drawing from the well
I'm not riding on my high horse
I'm not drawing from my strength
I'm afraid it seems, my self-esteem
Has been blown away to hell...
And I've been living the lie
Deep in the darkest cellars the bitter truth remains
Not ready to fact the music nor hear its plea
Chained to the walls below
For now it has to stay
Someday I'll see what I refuse to see
But for now it suits my need
And I've been living the lie
