Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be hostile
I don't wanna be dismal
And I don't wanna rot in
An apathetic existence
See, I wanna believe you
And I wanted to trust you
I don't wanna have faith to
Put away the dagger
[Verse 2]
But you lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal and I tolerate
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal, I cannot tolerate
[Verse 3]
Veil of virtue hung to hide your method while I'm
Smiling, laughing, dancing, sing your praise and glory
Shroud of virtue, hung to mask your stigma as I'm
Smiling, laughing, dancing, sing your glory
[Verse 4]
While you lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal, I cannot (Tolerate you)
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal, I cannot tolerate
[Verse 5]
Our guilt, our blame, I've been far too sympathetic
Our blood, our fault, I've been far too sympathetic
I'm not innocent, I'm not innocent
You are not innocent, no one is innocent
[Verse 6]
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
[Verse 7]
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
[Verse 8]
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
You lie cheat and steal
[Verse 9]
Lie cheat and steal
Lie cheat and steal
Lie cheat and steal
I cannot tolerate
[Verse 10]
I will not tolerate you
I will go down inside you
I must go down inside you
No one is innocent
