This joke seems old, it always is Repels itself into unconsciousness Thousands of miles And not a single breath speaks the truth It's set aflame, a burning clout A marksman's aim, without a single doubt Their mouths are dry They swallow every searing phrase I've been searching for leads to answers Because I'm finding false hope A stomach bleeding from lies turning its insides out So I can taste the dirt that sunk through skin Cancer devoured through eyes from what partition seen It's just obscene, a fare to be consumed by you and me As time moves on like an ocean's wave It reveals itself to be a constant edge A stage, a play, a manipulative game Sign your name with ink on paper believe we're better Cultivating ways to better lie to ourselves Step on the other lives that don't matter Sign your name with ink on paper lie to ourselves Focus our lives to demoralize It's wrong that they can't change a lie that's self-contained A leader, believer, stop the reign Timelines don't change they just repeat again Decades pass and it's all the same It's all the same Write your name with ink on paper believe we're better Cultivating ways to better lie to ourselves Step on the other lives that don't matter Sign your name with ink on paper and lie to ourselves
