Pretty Lies

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
