Song Notes
One Of My Lies was written at a warehouse on 7th St in West Oakland. I lived there with 15 roommates. Lucky Dog got me the room. RIP Lucky.

Lyrics
When I was younger
I thought that the world circled around me
But in time, I realized I was so wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams
Of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality, yeah
Do you think you're indestructible and no one can touch you?
Well I think you're disposable and it's time you knew the truth
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies
Why does my life have to be so small
And death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own
Don't give me an answer
'Cause you only know as much as I know
Unless you've been there once, well I hardly think so
Do you think you're indestructible and no one can touch you?
Well I think you're disposable and it's time you knew the truth
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies
I used to pray at night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too... Why?
