Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All this venom that you speak
Condescending, No pretending
Vandalize the weak
Ask for seconds, no repenting
Blood in my eyes so I guess it's okay
Burn the bridges, let them smolder
Every sorry sucker looking over their shoulder
For a little intuition and a lazy superstition
Just to help this venom with a little exposure
There's mud in my veins just to help me get by
So help me lie
Lie
Lie
[Verse 2]
Now I'm stuck here waiting for the flames to burn me down
It's like plucking off the wings of a fly just to watch it drown
Now my hands are bound, and my head keeps spinning
If I just keep calm, maybe I'll keep grinning
Yeah the haze is thick, but it seems it's thinning
And I still can't see the sun
[Verse 3]
When you kick the nest that holds the hornet
It stings the flesh, a toxin born
With no regret, absorb the thorn
Preach the hate, yet beg for more
Pay for the ways that you help decay
The shame I can blame but the price to pay
Is a hefty one, a lonely one
A violent vigilante with a loaded gun
It was funny now but then it seemed so fake
You would think that a fool had a lot at stake
But tides change, and lies fade
But I will never go away
Now I don't have time to help you get by
So help me lie
Lie
Lie
[Verse 4]
Now I'm stuck here waiting for the flames to burn me down
It's like plucking off the wings of a fly just to watch it drown
Now my hands are bound, and my head keeps spinning
If I just keep calm, maybe I'll keep grinning
Yeah the haze is thick, but it seems it's thinning
And I still can't see the sun
[Verse 5]
Now my hands are bound
And I'm spinning (Spinning)
[Verse 6]
Better pick it up quick
Better get it now
This severed chain that I can claim
What you could never find I found
Now no one run, he's got a gun
They're shooting kids, they're having fun
Their product placed, with a double face
They've changed the way we've played the game
There's an over saturation, every desperate situation
Should we emphasize exposure, maybe place a limitation?
Maybe it's an epidemic, we're deserving what we're getting
Are we destined for destruction or for reconciliation?
[Verse 7]
Now I'm stuck here waiting for the flames to burn me down
It's like plucking off the wings of a fly just to watch it drown
Now my hands are bound, and my head keeps spinning
If I just keep calm, maybe I'll keep grinning
Yeah the haze is thick, but it seems it's thinning
And I still can't see the sun
[Verse 8]
When the sun comes down and my head keeps spinning
Still can't see the sun
If I just keep calm maybe I'll keep grinning
Still can't see the sun
I just keep waiting for the flames to burn me down
Still can't see the sun
