Pretty Lies
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.
I’ve been starting to accept
That maybe this is all there is
And dreams that I’ve held in my head
Should be forgotten, just forget
That you thought you were bound for greatness
Rock and roll could be a saviour
Keep that to yourself and just fit in
Don’t stand out or they’ll destroy you
Words are sharp and filled with poison
Every step that you take forward
They’ll pull you back a thousand more
So give up your imagination
Take the pill, it’s just sedation
Be a member of society
That’s not worth living for
I won’t be afraid anymore
Like a thief in the night
Armed with their pretty lies
They will haunt you
Consume you
But you can’t let them win
Let the fear be your friend
Let it guide you
Fulfill you
You close your eyes, and dreams start racing
Feels so real, that you can taste it
See the crowd, and all their faces
Hear them screaming out you name and
Wish this was more than a vision
You could break out of this prison
Taking back control
Defiantly
Feel the fear and let it guide you
Let the fire burn inside you
Think of all that they’ve denied you
Remember and use the drive
You’ve always had but buried deeper
You give up they get what they want
Don’t let them win
Like a thief in the night
Armed with their pretty lies
They will haunt you
Consume you
But you can’t let them win
Let the fear be your friend
Let it guide you
Fulfill you
I’m sick of all their pretty lies
They sparkle like a blade
But I will make damn sure that I will not die
Wondering what could have been
I’ll take nothing to the grave
That’s not worth living for
I won’t be afraid anymore
Like a thief in the night
Armed with their pretty lies
They will haunt you
