I Can Make It Sound All Right

from My Weight In Gold Stars (2013) by My Weight in Gold Stars

lyrics

I’m a contradiction, a counterfeit, a charlatan, a shell
When bits of fiction figure into narratives I tell

The heart God created
Is busy making plans to murder and betray
All the lies I fashion
He was never really buying anyway

A view from the castle
Is how it starts but never how it ends
When the things I only ponder
And the things I really do become best friends

I say nothing happened
But I really mean it hasn’t happened yet
And I’m planning failures
Every opportunity I get

I can’t pray a lie
And I can’t fool myself
But I can make it sound all right

Maybe it’s the challenge
Maybe I just need to know I’m still around
Baby I don’t want to
Take it any farther than the sound

Of a whispered promise
That what could be could be the death of me
In this sort of setting
I may not always be the one to write the scene

I can’t pray a lie
And I can’t fool myself
But I can make it sound all right
