The First Song

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

My thoughts are commodities

My lies are me

My price is a compromise

My pay is peace

[Verse 2]

And words just make it worse

They're misunderstood, see, just like there

If you can't spell it out, if it's just understood

Then you think it isn't there

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]

I make my mind up

Convince my brain

I lie on accident

Trying to explain

[Verse 4]

But all the things that I was told

All the people that told me

How can I not believe in things that

Everyone else sees?
