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
