Smiles And Pretenses

You sit so still, unmoving
Stealing it, begging to stay
It drips on my skins surface
Drowning me towards the problem

Smiles and pretenses
Bring them all to watch the scandals tightning
Smiles and pretenses
With their frozen eyes, my knuckles whitening

Trust that it's all a distraction
Trust that your fucking nothing

Fighting the urge to hold my breath
Like a locust scraping dig in the trees
I can hear the gunshots in the background
Suffocation breathes the words of these shadows

Smiles and pretenses
Bring them all to see where this force I brought them
Smiles and pretenses
We're not any of it we have all forgotten

Trust that it's all a distraction
Trust that your fucking nothing

You sit so still, unmoving
Stealing it begging to stay
It drips on my skins surface
Drowning me towards the problem

Trust that it's all a distraction
Trust so you remain in line
Open up, Your blessed wings
Wrap them all around all of your things
Keep yourself in the company of kings
It's their hands that bleed from the strings
