You & I (Are Nothing But Lies)

(album: Crown Of Nothing - 2018)

There's a monster walking around in these streets
We can't pray him away
It's a constant threat to us all
Why do they sit and stare anyway?
So exhausted by the sight at the sound of the sighing and pathetic
Crowd
Never wanted for their breath to be drowned out more than we feel it
Right now
Tell the king you're fed up with something it's him
The power's in the sin
You and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
Paralyzed by what we despise
Desperate for vengeance
Nothing of consequence
We're all specters, so why do we tell everybody we feel so alive?
Just a lecture, made for our pride in the knowledge that everything
Dies
Distraction and pain and repeated refraines make us feel it'll all
Stay the same
But freedom's in knowing that chaos ain't going away
We're living proof of it
You and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
Paralyzed by what we despise
Desperate for vengeance
Finding no answers
You and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
It brings us together looking for answers
Cut out the cancer, now we're the masters
Sick and tired of voices on fire
Time to hammer out knives
Trick's to expire that's what inspires
No exit when you've gone and died
Sick and tired of sitting around and talking about how awful it is
What he did
It's our time to make him pay for his sin
Because you and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
Paralyzed by what we despise
Desperate for vengeance
Finding no answers
You and I are nohing but lies floating through consciousness
It brings us together looking for answers
Nihilist slander
He knows who's his master now
