It's after midnight and the
Clouds reflect all of your shame
Dive into the world where you feel
Sane, where you feel sane
Evaporate your worry
Tame the lion in your cage
Burn the edges of your frame
And pray
Now rolling and spinning, unfeeling
Now bending and reeling, detaching
Why must we delude ourselves into thinking that we care
How we lie about the truth of our apathy to live in fear
Burn another selfless thought and watch it drift off in the air
Unhinged to save face but not our lives, my way to paralyze
Play along
Fake the smile
You don't belong
But stay awhile
If you sift through the wreckage, I know you'll find me
So play along
It is worth while
The glass emptiness is burned
Into your eyes, you try to hide
A flame, a fire raging inside
But you know there's no way to pretend that your soul is awakening
Or you feel anything but the sting hovering of a cutting blade
Why do we delude ourselves into thinking that they care
How we lie about the truth of their apathy to feeding fear
Burn another selfless thought and watch it drift off in the air
Unhinged to save face but not their lives, the way to paralyze
Play along
Fake the smile
You don't belong
But stay awhile
If you sift through the wreckage, I know you'll find me
So play along
It is worth while
Cloudy truths
Seen through the lens of make believe
Easy to seduce
Put it down and look around
Light the flame
That grows to swallow everything
Finding the riot in the lives you covet
Unhinged to save face but not our lives
The way to paralyze
Play along
Fake the smile
You don't belong
But stay awhile
If you sift through the wreckage, I know you'll find me
So play along
It is worth while
