A Pretty Lie

Liner Notes

I let my computer randomly select five words from the selection given.
Those words were:
flock
feather
sing
strike
boast

So my first thought was that every word kind of fits with a bird theme and I don't really know where to take that as I don't like being obvious with my lyrics.
Now as I read it, these are to inspire, I don't have to use each word in the song but I probably will use most of them

"I saw your face / I want to be a bird. / Try to avoid the jungle." ~wise words from google translate after multiple translations

Lyrics

I think you worry too much about the weather
I think you try to find too many patterns
In the colors on a feather
Do I wanna drag you out of here?
Do I wanna drag you out of here?

Oh, she struck me, what's that you said?
You love me? Well that's a pretty lie
Don't need to tell me why
Cause I know it's justified

Oh it's not, my fault
That people gravitate towards their own kind
Well I'm not, anyone's kind
Or even mine for as far as I know
And I wish we could turn out alright

Oh, she struck me, what's that you said?
You love me? Well that's a pretty lie
Don't need to tell me why
Cause I know it's justified

Oh, you probably think I'm strange
With the way I lay out the table cloth
And that I count each grain of salt

And you know that I only want you attention
And you know that I boast about what I pretend to have
Of what you're dragging behind your back
Of what you say like but have never had
Those were the words I wish I never said

(Because now you know my secret)

Oh, she struck me, what's that you said?
You love me? Well that's a pretty lie
(Sing it with me)
Oh, she struck me, what's that you said?
You love me? Well that's a pretty lie
Don't need to tell me why
Cause I know it's justified
