FRAUDULENCE

Take a look around you; the people you know don't exist                                      
They just project what they want the world to see                                      
What they want you to know                                      
You're just like them – a kernel of truth wrapped in deceit                                      
I'm just like them – a kernel of truth wrapped in deceit                                      
                                       
We're born into a never-ending vicious cycle of dishonesty and resentment                                      
We know no love                          
No rest                                      
                                       
Year after year - we put so much effort into the charade                                      
Will we care when we forget our own truths?                                      
Can you feel
The Devil's arms around you                                     
Everyone betrays everyone                                
                                       
The world's bleeding fire, but you don't know why                                      
You won't last long, my friend                                      
                       
You can write your name in the sand how many times you want              
Those crushing waves will always take it away                
Just pick and choose what you feel like obeying                
And make excuses for the rest              
But in the end you'll realize              
We are nothing on our own              
                     
There is no fear of God before their eyes                   
                                       
All we do is swim through incessant waves of contempt                                      
Nothing ever changes, and to this day we try to find comfort in empty words                 
                                       
Oh, nothing ever changes, and to this day we try to find comfort in empty words     
We sink alone                     
                         
                           
Everyone here                    
Lies                        
Dies
