The fairytales are twisting within the dead of night
Of heroes and of mermaids ever bright
Self righteous and media junkies, prayed upon by the factory monkeys
A sweet sort of lie we built alive made just to buy us some time
Ah, the smoke is burning the eyes

Come and tell me man what was that name now
Begging for the love of the crowd
And now just
Be the first and foremost one to name yourself
And you'll be better than anyone else, woo hoo now
By hating all those who tread on the holy sea
You'll surely hate the dress that they wear too
Q.E.D

Turn off the light, no go and let it shine
Oh, time and again, choose right from all that's left
On, without an end, I'll claim it all and then
It's so sickening, medicine
Roast

Leave it be, oh leave it be
Don't let that burning image fall down upon me

Pick up the piece, turn and let it free
We'll drown inside the lies that you wanna believe
Oh try and breathe on, without me
You feed them every lie that you go and conceive
It's all a lie, don't hold me tight
Within this cultish life I'm barely alive

The thoughts up in our heads are half disease
half a fickle self belief in greed
Awash in sewage, brewin' in water to drain
The sugar's meltin' the brain, man I'm going insane
Defects, love gems, rejects
Drinking it in, and going mad in the sin
All the trash that builds a rave at my feet it hosts a tea party
With every soul alight, and then there's the me

You tow the line, afraid of life, just like a bird too frozen to fly
Beg for a reason why, just a small proof of life
Somebody else made to go decide
It all is up to you, to go and choose
Sell it all away 'till you lose
Though you're shooed away, just like a worthless stray
Still you go and touch the flame as it burns in vain

The things you tell yourself so you can stay in bed
"The sheets, rolled and rolled around"
Again I said it, I meant it

But the more you keep on lying, the more the truth is dying
It finally burns everything

All through your life, you'll grow and die
Don't fret for all your funds each are set to the side
You'll raise an eye, until you rot with spite
Within the burning light that you say you should try
Such vivid grace, you call in vain
With lights just like a theme park all shining so bright
In time it seems love fades in greed
"I wonder can we live on without our beliefs.."

Hey, come and tell me what's your name now
He's spit upon and jeered by the crowd
And now just
Be the next one up to raise and say your name
And every piece you make is fake
No worries

By loving those who tread on the holy sea
You'll surely love the dress that they're wearing

Come and follow me (x3)
Oh oh oh oh
Come and follow me (x3)
Oh oh oh oh
Come and follow me (x3)
Oh oh oh oh
Come and follow me (x3)
Oh oh oh ooohhhhhh

Leave it be, oh leave it be
This tiny spec of light here is plenty for me
Pick up the piece, turn and let it free
We'll drown inside the lies that you wanna believe
Oh cling to life, without my guide
You seek a bitter end so you never will die
You cry in grief, to love diseased
Say hi to the adults for me
