[Verse 1]
How will I make it without them this fall
Without these big empty promises
While the whole world is like a beast
Putting on my hood and hiding my eyes
Having everything at once is a paper goal
You’re writing a new story, I’m breaking ties
You’re holding me at gunpoint just like everyone else
But I’m not like that, you hear me, not like that

[Chorus]
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly one way
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly one way

[Verse 2]
Seducing so gently, sinking like a stone
Coming back to the surface and stumbling along
Rebooting and saying “better luck”
People burn the bridges with no remorse
It’s like somebody sprinkled crumbs —
It’s so easy not to keep and lose, tear apart
Loving to fly, hoping in vain
Believing for nought is not worth it
Birds see better
Birds feel the warmth
Birds don’t leave out to dry
Birds don’t do things out of spite
They’re not wasting their breath
They’re not combining their letters into words
You’re not a bird, just “like” —
A paper wing behind a made up halo
[Chorus]
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly one way
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly one way
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly, fly, liar
Fly, liar, fly one way

[Outro]
Fly, liar, fly, liar, fly, fly
Fly, liar, fly, liar, fly, fly
Fly, liar, fly, liar, fly, fly
Fly, liar, fly, liar, fly, fly
