Explained Away

As we wipe away the ledger
Dust clears from the truth
Of what we've done to your world

Stolen by those of us
Who now assume control

Lie and smile
And sell our fraudulent cause

As we paved our way to helping
Ourselves to what you'd owned

Eye's wide open, now it's too late
To the truth, closed

We lie in wait no more

We stole away
All the spoils you'd plundered
From this game that you'd played
Without ever knowing, what the rules were
Made an art form out of gaining your trust
Apologise and feign our false concern
We now take comfort in the fact that you learned
But what our broken system had allowed
Just enough to hang yourself, but never enough
To ever truly know

We're so depraved can't contain
Our contempt
We now take all that you've known
Till we've taken it all away
You're owned

And you fall into line with the way
That we made so sure
Things can never be restored

All you had, by our hand
Blown away by this storm

Minds diverted away to
Where our distraction states

Despite you're now awakened too
This tide has turned too far away

Eroded the life you've known
Your loss becomes, our gain

We now assume control

Now we've explained it all away
It's your fault we had to do this to you
Now we exploit what you failed to learn
Now you're owned

And we've explained it all away
It's your fault we had to do this to you
Now exploit what you failed learn
And you're all enslaved

Now we've explained it all away
It's your fault we had to do this to you

Explained it all away
Explained it all away
Explained it all away
