Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe we believe
She was ready to go
In the morning light
Maybe you believe
That she was made of gold
In the east, where you killed her, you lead us
When you need to feed us
You comfortably delete us
When you need your fetus
[Verse 2]
You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out
[Verse 3]
Goodbye
Goodbye
[Verse 4]
She speaks unrehearsed
Languages from skin
In the morning light
Painting shadows on the
Faces of the dead
In front of their widows
[Verse 5]
You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Before it's too late
[Verse 6]
Do you know that life is ending?
As we go, the dots connecting
We had our chance to save the garden
As it dies, our souls will harden
With these words chastising your conscience
We're breaking through and praying for transcendence
[Verse 7]
But you deceived us all now
You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out
