Whatever Lies Will Help You Rest

From The Last Last Call - The Ataris

Here's a long evasive story

Of failed hopes and glories

Old chandeliers and scratched out 45's

Some hands for my procession

And a couple drunk confessions

I'm soaked in rapture tonight

No lie no lie no lie

Believe me when I say

That I'm trying hard today

But I'm not right no I'm not right

Tell me it's not true

I would never lie to you

I'm not right no I'm not right

Maybe you will see it wasn't meant to be

But it's not me

The sins of the faithful

The luxuries of regret

And its a faithless

To have no loss tragedies

An acted up rectification

With all the best intentions

Smite me for my inquietudes

No lie no lie no lie

Can't believe you say

That you're better of this way

But I'm not right no I'm not right

Tell me what you see when you still look at me

I'm not right no I'm not right

I'm sorry when I say I'm still holding on today

And will you forgive me

When I found out I was stray

On the outskirts of the room

Doubled up on angel dust

There crying on my knees

For some god to come

And save this lifeless soul

And my ghost will wrap this words

As you cry yourself to sleep

I'm not right no I'm not right

I never want to know what I'm capable of

I'm not right no I'm not right

Tell me its not true but I will not believe you

I'm not right no I'm not right

Maybe you will see that it wasn't meant to be

But it's not me
