Lyrics

Stuck standing on her line
Waiting for the sign
Thought, she welcomes your kind
But heat begins to rise

Toxic scents her plastic flesh begins to melt away
The place was packed, now they will be disposed
The selfish uses for them hide beneath the praise
The ignorance is gone

Shaped to his design
From fear the hate reprised
He’s always on your side
For casting a disguise

You ask if someone out there’s not the fucking same
The standard’s now desertion in the cold
His deadly defamation locked in you in the frame
The innocence is gone

Sources of your peace
Are melting to your feet

Who wanted this?
Is this where it ends?
A puddled mess?

They’re all on a big list
That’s vacant for more
There’s not even skin left…
…that stuns me

It’s of the past
My trust turned regret
There’s nothing left

Truth is good
When you know the things you should
Now I’m stuck predicting what they say
Feeling distraught throughout the day

Moments rot inside
Should I treasure lies?

Yearn for days when troubles passed me
But there’s nothing that redeems them
Anyway, get away
