I thought it was a chance
to start over.
To make my way, to prove my worth.
My life was in your hands
and I wondered
why every day was getting worse.
Even the blinded can see you're not the man that you claim to be.
All this fiction rests upon your head.
What's the difference when you're out of time?
Take your riches and convince yourself of worth.
Just how long will you attempt to hide the truth?:
Your life is undeserved.
Respect is always earned yet you've been denied.
We must be wrong, you're always right.
And when it starts to fail; how you mutate.
So to prevail, everyone's to blame.
Even the blinded can see you're not the man that you claim to be.
This facade will crumble on your head.
Chorus
Give them nothing and take everything for you.
It's all the same.
What's beneficial isn't always what's the truth.
Protect your name.
It doesn't matter if you're stupid when you look so right.
It's all a game.
And when it's over and they're coming for you in the night,
you'll know shame.
This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island
I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
