A Crooked Melody Lyrics by Holding Absence

The Noble Art of Self Destruction

2023

[Verse 1]
I've been lost alone inside my mind
Where the devil on my shoulder's crying wolf tonight
I've started thinkin' that he's right
How could the sum of someone's life
Be them believing their own lies?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know a self-serving lullaby
That'll help me sleep at night
It smothers me with sweet denial
[Chorus]
Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I'm gonna be alright
If I lie myself to sleep, then I'm gonna be alright
As long as I don't know
[Verse 2]
I've been lost alone inside my head
The devil on my shoulder's crying wolf again
I've started thinkin' that I'm better off dead
How could the sum of someone's life
Be them believing their own lies?
I know
[Chorus]
Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I'm gonna be alright
If I lie myself to sleep, then I'm gonna be alright
[Post-Chorus]
I know that I
Lie myself to sleep every single night
Inside my mind, I lie
[Bridge]
I know someday the jury will call
And they will say that I am a fraud
An imposter, a liar, deep down, I'll know
That I agree with them
I know someday the jury will call
And they will say that I am a fraud
An imposter, a liar, deep down, I'll know
That I agree with them
[Chorus]
Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright
Sing myself a crooked melody
Where I tell myself that it's gonna be alright
Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I'm gonna be alright
If I lie myself to sleep, then I'm gonna be alright
(Sing myself a crooked melody)
