Destroying a Dead Man

They give you pills because they want to cover up what they do But you know deep inside of you what is actually true The harm you do is really a message of help They need someone to blame for their treachery and madness But your empty eyes reflect your true sadness Their pointless stupid lie is oh so rotten to its core Soulless deep inside but they win the poor man's war A quiet siren rings in your ear But baby you will not shed a tear You got to work hard to leave them behind And all the treasures later you will find Forget the cry for rescue and obliterate the truth Your scars will never be soothed One day you will be free and one day you'll run And your goodness will shine is the blazing sun.
