The Lie
Contract is broken
Life in default
You're standing on my neck
I'll pay you a visit just so I can let you know that this game is over
And I'll settle up the score
And you'll be lucky if you see the light of day
When I hit the streets and then I start to ride
These things are built, get in my way so I'm gonna tear them down
It's not for nothing
I turn it all inside out
Fist through the screen
Blade through the dream
You find us face-down, bound, and blind
Kneeling, cowered behind
Serving beneath their sign
Only see their reflections and they're shiny and bright
Don't believe your eyes
Don't believe your eyes
No vow they break, ever illegal.
There is a cage built just our size
They stole the children promised
Turned them into slaves to paradise
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
I'm still so alone
It's hard to see this world without you
Well, these are dark days
There is no other way
When I go, willing, I hope you can say the same
When I jack the dream grids then I feel alive
Everything I find, I'm making it my own so I can bury you
Just one laceration and I can bleed you out
Crash like waves
This could be the end of time
End of my life
End of my time
Let my lifetime
Let a lifetime pass me by
Don't believe the lie
No vow they break, ever illegal.
There is a cage built just our size
They stole the children promised
Turned them into slaves to paradise
And when did we learn to love the lie?
When did safety and comfort blind us to the war
we're fighting for our minds?
When did we learn to love the lie?
When did we wake up late to find that
by sleeping
we sold them all our lives?
When did we learn to love the lie?
When did we learn to love the lie?
When did we learn to love the lie?
Love the lie
Life in default

When did we learn to love the lie?
When did we learn to love the lie?
When did we learn to love the lie?
Love the lie
