Alter Bridge - What Lies Within Lyrics

Alter Bridge Lyrics

"What Lies Within"

It took so long for me to realize
Behavior so obscene was borderline

Evil the way that it plays with the heart
Deceitful I should've known it from the start

But now I see
With open eyes

That this disease
Could bring us down this time

What lies within
Beneath the skin
Is something so dark and foreboding

It's back again
Please don't give in
Release the anger move on

Heed these words before you are erased
Sick men they are always on the take

A river of charm that will sway with a smile
Bewildered just how we fall for their lies

When will we see
With open eyes

That this disease
Brings them down every time

What lies within
Beneath the skin
Something so dark and foreboding

It's back again
Please don't give in
Release the anger move on

Don't give in just breathe
Don't you cross the line

The abuse you feel
Only magnifies

Don't give in just breath
Knowing all the while

That you hold the key
To your peace of mind

What lies within
Beneath the skin
Something so dark and foreboding

It's back again
Please don't give in
Release the anger move on

It never ends
So don't pretend
Now comes the time for disowning

It's back again
Please don't give in
Release the anger move on

I should have known it from the start
I should have known it from the start
