lyrics

Wave goodbye to the secret life
(now) it's time to make right
retire the masquerade arrayed
in plain clothes,
HIDE
in plain sight

blurred lines, (and) bitter fights
cunning plans, calculated price
sometimes extended hands

hold the sharpest knives

pointed words
perforated lives
sometimes the blackest hearts create
the whitest sounding lies

iinner circles, intersecting (plot) lines
malicious plans discussed, disguised,
sometimes the sideways glares are cast from
the kindest looking eyes

peel back the second skin(s)
alter egos, evil twins
this is remission of the sin, mirrored back, Machiavellian grin

exposed, the guise that lies below

(so) KICK BACK

enjoy the show

sometimes the devil you know is the one with the smile and the shiniest halo

we'll find the truth where we find it
(and) we can choose to deny it
we'll pack our things and we'll drive them
six feet under the ground

we'll find the truth where we find it
then we'll choose to deny it
we'll grab the stick from the pilot and we'll
fly it into the ground

but you don't like the taste
and you can't stand the sound
but sometimes it's the only way the medicine goes down

[blind faith? it's just hard to relate when i am flying by the seat of my size thirty eights,
and i fall to my knees as you piss it away
every night
every night
every night
every night
every day]
