This Deception
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.
This deception it cuts no deep
And your perception
Is cloudy and weak!
To the ones departed
Blame ominous skies
Can't you see the look in my eyes!
The sight of your face it brings me pause
And the sound of your voice just because
I thought you were dead
I wished you were dead
Gone to the sound of applause!
The promises we keep
While all the others sleep
Vows to the maker
Now who's nothing but a taker!
Life is just another sin
It's either you want out or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one
All that glitters cannot be gold
I've seen your smile
It feels so cold, so
Another day another dollar
Hear these words and you'll know who I'm after!
The sight of your face it brings me pause
And the sound of your voice it’s just because
I thought you were dead
Wished you were dead
Gone to the sound of applause!
The promises we keep
While all the others sleep
Vows to the maker
Now who's nothing but a taker!
Life is just another sin
It's either you want not or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one!
Cash your memories on the table
It's whether you're willing or able
Say your prayers
To the setting sun
And go back to square one!
As far as the eye can see
Everything looks black to me
Nothing to hack it up
Back-handed compliments
Just fuck things up!
I would rather die, and run you down
Then go on living
Bleed bleed bleed by example!
Life is just another sin
It's either you want out or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one!
Cash your memories on the table
It's whether you're willing or able
Say your prayers
To the setting sun
And go back to square one!
Bleed bleed bleed by example!
Go back to square one!
