Deception

Deception
Their hiding in the shadows of expression
Their living in a world without reflection
Every failure is a positive lesson
More human, less being
More connection

I was raised on the foundation to never be afraid
Carry blades for protection
Intimidation in ways
Learnt a lot from the streets
My dogs were in a cage
You know that I'm a keeper
Cause I'm always making saves
Deception
I'm stuck dissecting all these peasants
The country addicted to all suppressants
Not my fault I lost my adolescents
And you can blame my parents
I was told to never lie and hide away the tears
Show no man your weakness
And take over the peers
Every failure is a positive lesson that we should give
Put it on the next generation, and you might live

Deception
Their hiding in the shadows of expression
Their living in a world without reflection
Every failure is a positive lesson
More human, less being
More connection
Their hiding in the shadows of expression
Their living in a world without reflection
Every failure is a positive lesson
More human, less being
More connection

My sister and nephew got arrested the other day
Imagine your family deteriorating away
My mother's pain is like nothing you'll ever see
Where all the values we once had on display
Deception, the world is turning becomes unpleasant
The stats are showing there's more depression
Majority abused through adolescence
Maybe you can blame my parents
I was taught to get high and put away the beers
Show your dad no weakness even when they're in arrears
Every failure is a positive lesson I hope it clears
Pass it on to the next generation they might live

Deception
Their hiding in the shadows of expression
Their living in a world without reflection
Every failure is a positive lesson
More human, less being
More connection
Their hiding in the shadows of expression
Their living in a world without reflection
Every failure is a positive lesson
More human, less being
More connection

Tired of deceptions
And maybe all elections
Check your perception
Uh, uh, uh
Tired of deceptions
All these elections
Check your perception
Leave no correction
Use to rejections
With no directions
Here's my objections
Let's hear confessions
