Set Fire To The Hive

I don't know what's wrong but I'm on fire
It seers through my hands
Leaving skin on the wire
Awake in this womb
With a crown sting in my self
When I listen, the same cry plays on
We're slaves
In this medicated cage
Make a decision to face this
Change the rules they don't explain
So, why do we obey?
Politics, religion, your vision's the same
You played us as both a cancer and a cure
Which reminds me that It's just a game
Your alibi's a sales pitch
Your pretty boy, pretty face dolled up again
A star for us to adore
And you, man, you've got to be more
Cause this effects all
It's nice to know you're with us today
I've seen you in the fog along the way
I'll spit in the mouth of your god
Who whispers in the minds of our children
You've been sold again
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again
You swing this wrecking ball
A howling pendulum
To hypnotize them all
The writing on the wall
That we keep missing
A structure built to fall
Still we all obey
It's nice to know you're with us today
I've seen you in the fog along the way
I'll spit in the mouth of your god
Who whispers in the minds of our children
You've been sold again
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again
There's no second chances here
There's no second chances here
There's no second chances here
