lyrics

Swallow your pride little girl
An audience awaits to hear your cries
And like the vultures that they are
Applaud your show with only lies

Give in to all that they say
Lure ‘em in with your pills ‘till they relax
And we’ll see if they’re still coy
With our knives inside their backs

It’s the only way to bleed (x2)

Who gave those vultures control
Poisoned tongues with rhymes sing us asleep
As their greedy hands build walls
Along this tower built for sheep

She said it’s only a dream
A walk through life with minds completely numb
And see how quickly we forget
Just how pathetic we’ve become

It’s such a lonely way to dream (x2)

Run run for the pills they can help
Draw a line off the mirror and she’s gone
Take her far far from here
Watch the darkness set in as she screams
It’s over now (x3)
Said these dreams are all gone

Big Brother’s watching for you
The Party’s fear takes control
As the words decay
Go and steal back all those years
Before he comes and takes us away

There’s just no time to explain
Two minutes of hate make thin minds crack
As it gets down to their soul
And turns the whole damn thing to black

It’s such a lonely way to be
But’s it the only way to be

Run run for the pills they can help
Draw a line off the mirror and she’s gone
Take her far far from here
Watch the darkness set in as she screams
It’s over now (x3)
I can’t try anymore
Let additions they gave to me win
Once more so the choir gets to sing
Let the fear take control and we’re gone
