lyrics

Lies! Parasitic pride
Used by the weakest as the perfect disguise!
But the wise, they see through this fervor-eyed divine life,
And unveil their true cover of the stereotype.
They claim they are our emperors, sewing their own clothes,
Unwilling to admit they really just want their skin shown.
They are proud of the fact that they have no scars to bear
Yet each one is a story that they’ll never be able to share.

Their souls are as deep as their own shallow conceit -
They can never be free, they can never be free.
Reflections never show what you are hiding beneath -
By the pond, on your knees, you will never be free.

How can the world hold them high
When they’ve decorated themselves so fine?
Bejeweled by their unyielding egos,
Their treasures hold the crippled below.
It’s too hard to carry their pride
When they only try to weaken mine.
They’ve erected monuments to themselves
And they are all the kings of the hill.

Fear unspoken,
Hearts bound to be broken.
This moment when their feelings overtake their beliefs -
This pain inside that will never cease to ring.
These doves will all paint the pavement red,
They cannot stay aloft with undeserved wings.
And yet they leap, and yet they feel free,
And yet their fearless act is no match for gravity.

So still all your screams and dodge all your grief,
There is still life in your humble physique.
When time steals sand from your hourglass,
It’s your love that will last, it’s your love that will last!
