Smiles And Pretenses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
