We're, if at all
Slaves to a pawn
Caught in a cautious lie, if at all
Staggering weightless
Haggard stained cynical
It all tastes sweet
Leave me to sway here, if at all
Listing ageless
Wait, wait and see
Come here to rest
And then cosset the crows
Who murder the raven
And those who cast the losing die
Leave me to sway here, if at all
Listing ageless
Wait
Trace these suicide shades
Uncovered through this pious lullaby
Praise to suffer
While we brace ourselves
Shaking hands on the alter
See these paths to their end
Through the pulse of hate
And now walk along the earth
It always turns inward
To let their souls writhe
Silting softly it is wanting
Hate
Trace these suicide shades
Uncovered through this pious lullaby
Pray and suffer
Erase, erase, erase, erase
Erase, erase, erase, erase
In the deep, dark shadows where everyone lies
There's a circus smirking debutant conducting his spies
And now he's turned you in, to their chagrin, and now everyone dies
In his deep, dark shadows where everyone lies
Shades, shades
Now he stands in the center with his Cheshire grin
Peeling off oscillating memories attached to their skin
But it's over soon, now red balloons keep us amputees in
In his deep, dark circus where nobody wins
Shades, shades
