I don't believe in ghosts but i'm scared of them
And in this way i contradict myself
(no i don't)

It's hard to be smart when you're so, so dumb
So much, so much of the time.


I don't believe you'll like what i have to say
And so i'll just keep it to myself
(no i won't)

It's hard to be nice when you're so, so sad
And it's so sad that you'd even try


It's a journal of lies when it lies on the table
A journal of lies if just anyone's able
To read what you wrote

It's a book full of quotes
That you just made up
That's a journal of lies that you've got there


I don't believe a thing that they shout at me
I don't believe a single word they yell

(yes i do)
My spirit's been busted by people i trusted
And now they can all go to hell


It's a journal of lies when it lies on the table
A journal of lies if just anyone's able

To read what you wrote
It's a book full of stuff
That you just made up

That's a journal of lies that you've got there
