Imago - Otherwise lyrics

rate me

We all have raised our voices

We all have done our crimes

We've been excused of every lie

There's no such thing as perfect

So we could make those plans

Would you have it otherwise

And on the fulcrum we stand on, we aim for better view

Then you trip over fault lines of which you never knew

Then you start to mail all of the blame

Find it back on your door next day

Like twists and turns in radio plays and movies

Mount the script in your autobiography

Take the hero's place and the hero's name

Manufacture spiels for a stranger's sake

Oh, you bitch for truth

And you damn well know you're fake

We all have minced our words

Even exchanged euphemisms

Then we say we must go for truth

We have an ear for envy

Never a tongue for praise

Can't we have it otherwise

And on the fulcrum we stand on, we aim for better view

Then you trip over fault lines of which you never knew

Then you start to mail all of the blame

Find it back on your door next day

Like twists and turns in radio plays and movies

Mount the script in your autobiography

Take the hero's place and the hero's name

Manufacture spiels for a stranger's sake

Oh, you bitch for truth

And you damn well know you're fake

Like twists and turns in radio plays and movies

Mount the script in your autobiography

Take the hero's place and the hero's name

Manufacture spiels for a stranger's sake

Oh, you bitch for truth

And you damn well know you're fake

Like twists and turns in radio plays and movies

Mount the script in your autobiography

Take the hero's place and the hero's name

Manufacture spiels for a stranger's sake

Oh, you bitch for truth

And you damn well know you're fake

Damn well know you're fake
