It will more than likely be the 1st single from their newest album.

This song was premiered in late 2006 during shows in Japan. On a setlist for the shows it was labeled as QWERTY but has since been confirmed as being titled Lies. The song is the second song from the band to stray from their Nu metal label, the first being Breaking The Habit

[edit] Lyrics

!=Scream

Your lies!
I didn't think that I had a debt to pay
Till they came to take all I had left away
You said you didn't put me to the test today
But I remember you saying that yesterday
There was a time when your mind wasn't out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
Like a pill you couldn't swallow and it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow till it follows you home, like that

CHORUS:
Broken down, a victim of your! Lies!
You hide behind Lies!
You don't know Why!
You crossed the line Wrapped up inside your lies!
You hide behind Lies!
You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies!

I don't know what you thought I might say
Seems we were never taught the right way
Every other minute I fought for my place
I dropped what I made and thought you might stay
So I'm guessing that you probably know
When your inside's hollow then you ought to be cold
Like a pill I couldn't swallow and it swallowed me whole
Another lie hard to follow till it followed me home, like that

CHORUS X1

You're faking! You're mistaken!
If you think that you could climb out of this hole!
Forsaken! What we take with!
All the lies above the power of control!
Broken down, a victim of your lies!
You hide behind, lies
You don't know why
You hide behind, lies
You don't know why
You hide behind

CHORUS X1
