Golden Geese with Silver Tongues

Through the looking glass we flee When deserts swallow all we see It's all coalescing in a moment As the sun kisses me When the days all drown in disarray The bells will toll and we'll understand what they stole From the poets mouths Their well of words is drawn Their words, the ink would never let dry, but sadly set alight Like a flame set out to see the world at night Medicated in this state, we feel imagination numbly fade As the melody is coursing through our veins With silver tongues, they talk As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth Since all their ideals are gold that their truths can't afford So through the looking glass we flee When deserts swallow all we see It's all coalescing in a moment as the sun kisses me Their words decide if the fire cuts through Or simply flickers and subsides With poison dripping all down the page An audience fed toxic words, until they obey Please, oh Piper play your song Sedate the snakes then move along We're insatiable, we feed on melodies Intangible I fail to read what's right in front of me With every verse i'm blinded by what's to come And what has come to be Now we're left holding a picture Falling apart piece by piece With silver tongues, they talk As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth Since all their ideals are gold that their truths can't afford So through the looking glass we flee When deserts swallow all we see We're burning out of these sun-kissed bodies So we stare into the breach that lies between The pen, the page and this soliloquy With an invitation from the deep To join them in their sleep We can't see what we are, we only see what we want This fallacy is just the start We can't see what we are, we only see what we want This fallacy is just the start With silver tongues, they talk As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth Because all their ideals are gold With silver tongues, they talk As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth Since all their ideals are gold that their truths can't afford So through the looking glass we flee When deserts swallow all we see We're burning out of these sun-kissed bodies
