condemned. you are no friends. no heroes. pretend.
brought up. brought down. ripped off.
disguise. family ties. no leaders. dirty secrets.
brought up. brought down. ripped off.
out sold. sold out. forgot.
i know you can hear us but are you even listening?
oh my fraud. oh my god.
we cant handle the truth, the weight is too much.
invisible miracles. transparency’s touch.
show us a sign. show us the way.
are we selfish for asking to show us your face?
i know you can hear us but are you even listening?
hello? hello? is anybody there?
are we sinners for thinking you are nothing but air?
polluted. pollution.
we have gone. gone so far. so far gone.
oh my god. oh my fraud. play along.
one small step for man, one giant step for mankind.
this still won't stop you from dying.
how far is heaven?
artificial environments trapped in your artificial life.
what kind of man are you?
we'll float around like we own this place.
life preserver was never so ironic.
