Power Lies - The Thermals

How did I lose my past

How did I choose this path

Why do I hold to my chest

Every memory I mean to forget

How can I measure my length

Where will I find my strength

Power lies

How did I find myself on top

How will I ever know to stop

When will I learn to defend

When will I finally see the end

How can I erase my steps

How can I fake my death

How could I _____ to leave

The air is too clear to breath

Power lies

It takes back what you take in time

Power lies

How did I lose my past

How did I choose this path

Why do I hold to my chest

Every memory I mean to forget

How can I measure my length

Where will I find my strength

Power lies

It takes back what you take in time

It takes back what you take in time

Power lies

But it takes back what you take in time

How would you take in time
