The Avett Brothers
Emotionalism
The Weight Of Lies
Disappear from you hometown
Go and find the people that you know
Show them all you good parts
Leave town when bad ones start to show
Go and wed a woman
A pretty girl that youâve never met
Make sure she knows you love her well
But donât make any other promises
The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesnât happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies donât need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere
I once heard the worse thing
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
But leaving out his doubt
Iâm not sure I bought those words
When I was young I knew most everything
These words have never met so much to anyone
As they now mean to me
The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesnât happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies donât need an aeroplane to chase you down
