A Lost Cause - White Lies Lyrics

You don't f*cking deserve this
Manipulation
Necrotic lies, deceiving the blind
You keep trying to test me
You think you are above them
You don't deserve the air you breathe

Self-absorbed sycophants
Twisting truths to get the upper hand
Cold hearts, empty words, broken trust
See-through white lies from your blackened hearts

We watch as our lives decay
Do we even have the will to change?
White lies from black hearts
Watching each other fall apart

Bend the truth, bend the truth
We're all the same
Bend the truth, bend the truth
It's just a game
If you look deep inside your soul
Do you think we have a chance to grow?

Or will we all stay the same?
The degradation of compassion
Self-assurance and self-loathing
We build bridges, you build walls

You sap the life out of those around you
Your arrogance is naïve and astounding
You know you're to blame and that you can't be helped
You're the antithesis of those you've left behind

You are deaf to reasoning
Self-gain is all you see
All you see
Your façade is wearing thin
See-through white lies from your blackened hearts

We watch as our lives decay
Do we even have the will to change?
White lies from black hearts
Watching each other fall apart

Bend the truth, bend the truth
We're all the same
Bend the truth, bend the truth
It's just a game
If you look deep inside your soul
Do you think we have a chance to grow?

Watching as our lives decay
As our lives decay
Watching as our lives decay
As our lives decay

We're watching each other fall apart
We take what we want again and again
Will we ever shift this paradigm?
