I traced it back to a couple months before I was born I must've heard my momma tell my daddy That she was tired, 'cause babies make you tired, but Deep down, she was just unhappy I think my father did the best that he could do He rarely made it to the dinner table Said, "He was working late", but he was working late Fogging up the windows of an '89 Sable I, I learned to cry Quietly, I learned to pray Silently, inside a house where the Devil played And I, hate that it runs in my blood I hate how easy it comes I wish I learned how to love the same way, I Learn to Lie I learned to sing to Carole King on the radio Learned to shoot on a little Red Ryder I can drive a stick, and in a pinch I can pop a bottle with a cigarette lighter I learned to cry Quietly, I learned to pray Silently, inside a house where the Devil played And I, hate that it runs in my blood I hate how easy it comes I wish I learned how to love the same way, I Learn to Lie And I, I learned to say things I don't mean Like, stay, when I want you to leave And when you don't come home or call And I swear I don't mind I hate that I know how it's done When a moment just like this one comes I just go numb and play dumb and look you in the eye And lie Oh, and lie

Do you want to be hypnotized? All you have to do is move your body In whatever way feels comfortable for you Just let yourself sink into the groove And move Fix your eyes on a spot It doesn't matter where Just fix your eyes on one spot Begin to relax Feel your mind and body Beginning to wind down Wind down, wind down and relax If you have any thoughts Just let them drift through your mind Like beautiful clouds Across a clear blue sky Just through your mind and away from you Through your mind and away As you relax Deeper, deeper and deeper relax Just let go of stress and tension Let go of worry and doubt and relax Imagine a staircase standing in front of you With ten wide, safe stairs Down, down to a perfect relaxation Down to peace and contentment Down towards the happiness that you deserve And as I count down from ten Take one step with each number One step down Ten, nine, eight, seven, six Five, four, three, two, one Deeper, deeper, deeper, relax That's it, just let go, and relax You've stolen my heart, it's true You see the shape of things to come Why give up our lives To the brutes and fools? Tear it all apart You see the shape of things to come Why this, now girl? Will we kill each other? Like Adam in chains I want revenge Like Adam in chains I want revenge Adam in chains (Adam in chains, Adam in chains, Adam in chains) They've broken your heart Oh yeah, they're gonna tear your world apart Why make up a lie And believe it's true?

Why tear it all apart? Why tear our world apart, girl?
