lyrics

Those people said that they were your friends, they were liars.
they said they sorry for hurting you, they were liars.
said they'd give their right arm for what they want but they resisted.
why couldn't you tell the truth?

now what will you do with a house full of liars?
i'll pull out all their teeth with pliers.
but what will you do with a basket full of teeth?
i'll feed them to the birds, they'll get a taste for liars.

now you hide in the hedgerow, waiting for winter.
hoping that the cold air will cause them, cause them to wither.
and that the snow would cover their faces.
and that the snow would silence their talking.

they said your hands would grow back fine, they were lying.
that the scars would fade in time, they were lying.
said they'd give their right arm for what they want but they were lying.
why couldn't you tell the truth?

now what will you do with a house full of liars?
i'll pull out all their tongues with pliers
but what will you do with a basket full of tongues?
i'll feed them to the dog, he'll get a taste for liars.
