Wither

Another day of selling fear to the fearful

You raise a fist to hear the mob chant your name

But deep inside you beats the heart of a coward

Always writhing, a cancer thriving

You lie. You lie.

Play the hero, play the victim

You lie. You lie.

Twist the words, more contradiction

So callous, so empty, the malice unending

This savior of the blind

You’ll say anything to get what you need. It won’t save you from the fall

Can you hear the warning, feel the calling, begging for some other way to live for more than the same cycle of cradle to grave?

Can you hear the warning, feel the calling, begging for some other way to be more than the prey until your hope withers away?

Manipulate the minds that harbor the anger

You spread the filth to light the hate in their eyes

Where will you hide when they all turn against you?

The knives are waiting, the vultures craving

You lie. You lie.

Play the hero ,play the victim

You lie. You lie.

Twist the words, more contradiction

So callous, so empty, the malice unending

This savior of the blind

You’ll say anything to get what you need. It won’t save you from the fall

You’ll say anything to get what you need. It won’t save you from the fall

Can you hear the warning, feel the calling, begging for some other way to live for more than the same cycle of cradle to grave?

Can you hear the warning, feel the calling, begging for some other way to be more than the prey until your hope withers away?
