Built to Spill
The First Song
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
My thoughts are commodities
My lies are me
My price is a compromise
My pay is peace

[Verse 2]
And words just make it worse
They're misunderstood, see just like there
If you can't spell it out, if it's just understood
Then you think it isn't there

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I make my mind up
Convince my brain
I lie on accident
Trying to explain

[Verse 4]
But all the things that I was told
All the people that told me
How can I not believe in things that
Everyone else sees?
