David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

Always plotting, scheming,
She knows no other way,
A habit made of lifetimes
from no conscience, you might say. 

Justifying always,
She removed herself from life, 
In that way she does no wrong
as she hides amongst her strife. 

Her sins are always conscious, 
But to her she’s never there,
She claims she never did it and
some actually believe her dare. 

Chorus
Continuous destruction,
Hidden in plain view,
As long as she can lie her way
out of anything she might do. 
Exposed, she’s so convincing,
Practicing for years,
What a way to live one’s life
with exposure always near.

Bridge
This anti social subject,
But real as life can be,
Ignoring what you know is true
will blind what you do see.

Families almost vanish,
Lives dissolve through time,
Rejecting what’s in front of you
is built into your mind.
