[Verse 1]
How do they sleep at night?
With that grin on their face
Every word a painted knife
Every promise a fake
They dress up truth in ash
Sell a mask as a crown
They reach for everyone else
Just to keep their head down
[Chorus]
How can they live like that?
How can they live like that?
Lies on their tongue, lies in their hands
(How can they live like that?)
How can they live like that?
How can they live like that?
They show the world a stolen name
Then run from what they are
[Verse 2]
They tell the room one story
Then they swap it for the next
Left and right, they change their face
Never owning what comes next
They want to be adored
By the ones they deceive
But every crooked step they take
Is a chain they’ll never leave
[Chorus]
How can they live like that?
How can they live like that?
Lies on their tongue, lies in their hands
(How can they live like that?)
How can they live like that?
How can they live like that?
They show the world a stolen name
Then run from what they are
[Bridge]
One day the mirror breaks
And there’s nowhere left to hide
All that borrowed smoke
Falls dead in the light
[Chorus]
How can they live like that?
How can they live like that?
Lies on their tongue, lies in their hands
(How can they live like that?)
How can they live like that?
How can they live like that?
They show the world a stolen name
Then run from what they are
