[Intro]
If I'm the root of the problem then just pull me out of the ground
If you were a God I would tell you to strike me down

[Verse 1]
Always been stubborn, if I die, then I'm gon' die on this hill (Huh, yes, yes)
There ain't no chemical imbalance you can fix with a pill (So real)
Hard to keep my composure (Hard to keep my composure)
Stare at the clock just to peak when it's over, ah
You would think I control ya (You would think I control ya)
I could rework my soul for some decent exposure

[Chorus]
Crisis averted, sweet nothings, perfectly worded, I lied
Think I deservеd it, but, baby, you've been pervertin' my mind
You can't confirm it, but for you, I'd put my lifе on the line
Tried to walk carefully, but terribly, the cake is a lie

[Post-Chorus]
(Talk to a poltergeist, won't take my own advice)
Tried to open your mind, you don't know what you'll find
(Don't think I can take anymore, I'll hide my gun in the floor)
Please try and close your eyes, the cake is a lie

[Verse 2]
Don't think I'll ever find a remedy for pain in my chest
Over-obsessive, take my pulse so I could control my breath
Uh (Darling, you can't save me now)
(You can't save me now)
Tried to drink but the well's dried out
[Chorus]
Crisis averted, sweet nothings, perfectly worded, I lied
Think I deserved it, but, baby, you've been pervertin' my mind
You can't confirm it, but for you, I'd put my life on the line
Tried to walk carefully, but terribly, the cake is a lie

[Outro]
The cake is a lie
