Stronger than reason Stronger than lies The only truth I know Is the look in your eyes The look in your eyes! Just like a car crash Just like a knife My favourite weapon Is the look in your eyes You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! There's a ton locked in your empty eyes Get out of my life! I'm chewing on glass And eating my fingers I'm not the one Who's run out of lies Lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of lies! You've run out of time! Cutting my face And walking on splinters I lost my soul To the look in your eyes Your eyes! You ran out of lies! You ran out of lies! You ran out of lies! You ran out of time! Stigmata! O, you have empty eyes!... They tell me nothing, nothing but lies
