Decoy!

Can I get a clean slate
In case I make a mistake
I wipe away the stains left by
Residuals
Some individuals why
Was it fine at the time
Is it a white lie?
That wasn't your game
But you played it just the same
Congratulations
I lost my patience
You wonder why I'm blind
With frustration

Well is it fate
Or is it deceitful
Innocent
Or is it my equal
Stuck again
Never end
Never comes to be
In this defeat
It's a victory!

(Decoy!)
Well, all talk no action has left me speechless
(Now boy!)
When your words of wisdom become words of weakness
(Decoy!)
Don't preach to me because to me you're speechless
(Now boy!)
When your words of wisdom become words of weakness

Which one's the decoy?
And how can I avoid
All the posers who point their fingers at the sky
So step aside
And come out of your hideaway
'Cause I've seen better way
That your game is played
But your standing in my shade
Congratulations
I lost my patience
A standing 8 in a standing ovation

I see that the name on the deed reads like a lie
You can't offend me
'Cause I'm your alibi
What do you need me for?
When you stare at me
Compare me to a metaphor

(Decoy!)
All talk no action has left me speechless
(Now boy!)
When your words of wisdom become words of weakness
(Decoy!)
Don't preach to me 'cause to me you're speechless
(Now boy!)
When your words of wisdom become words of weakness

Why was it fine at the time
Is it a white lie?
Is it fine at the time
Is that your alibi?
Why was it fine at the time
Is it a white lie?
Is it a white lie
Or your alibi?

Why was it fine at the time
Is it a white lie?
Is it fine at the time
Is that your alibi?
Why was it fine at the time
Is it a white lie?
Or your alibi?
Or lie!

(Decoy!)
All talk no action has left me speechless
(Now boy!)
When your words of wisdom become words of weakness
(Decoy!)
Don't preach to me
Don't rehearse your speeches
(Now boy!)
When your words of wisdom become words of weakness

Well is it fate
Or is it my equal
Innocence
Or is it deceitful
Stuck again
Never end
Never comes to be
In this defeat
I have a victory!

(Decoy!)
Well, all talk no action has left me speechless
(Now boy!)
When your words of wisdom become words of weakness
(Decoy!)
Don't preach to me because to me you're speechless
(Now boy!)
Words of wisdom!
Words of weakness!

Why was it fine at the time
Is it a white lie?
Is it fine at the time
Is that your alibi?
Or a white lie?
