Lyrics

[Chorus]

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that

Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that

People like that, people like that

Decapitate the shine because the people like that

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that

Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that

People like that, people like that

Decapitate the shine because the people like that, yeah

[Verse 1]

By these means, I'm responding, but have no parts left to sell

Have only scenes of a life that have been sold just as well

Fall victim to faces with all the tales of escaping

No more fails in the tank, just have these steps for the taking

Hating that it would rain beyond belief

For the casual watcher at the edge of their seat

And I used to think that I could take all I could get

But I must admit now that before you, I just forget

[Chorus]

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that

Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that

People like that, people like that

Decapitate the shine because the people like that

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that

Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that

People like that, people like that

Decapitate the shine because the people like that, yeah

[Verse 2]

And the spoils go to the brave boys

You only count the birds that make a loud noise

I imagine that you could've, could've cut a cold figure

Like what I dream, but I forget to take a picture

Why'd you got the laugh coming straight out the gallows?

No weird fishes out hiding in the shallows

All that showmanship is expired

Now, we know the heart we used to share is beating tired

[Chorus]

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that

Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that

People like that, people like that

Decapitate the shine because the people like that

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that

Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that

People like that, people like that

Decapitate the shine because the people like that

[Outro]

Decapitate the shine
