Liar's Den

Throw me in a lions pit to feed your sickening desires Tie me down with barbed wired tear my teeth with pliers Chain me up by my feet to listen to my heart beat Tear from me what I have left see what makes me tick Dehumanize me moralize me make it over quick Remove my heart tear out my bones but never have my soul Stuff me in your closet where everybody else is stored Await the day the door breaks down to give you what is yours In the end we seal our fate but to what extant Hiding away the lies pushing them away To find the truth in which you try to set aside Grab a spade unbury the lion bones, underneath is where it resides When you do we wait for you and everything you hide Unsuccessfully ironically you sure as hell have tried Answer the knocking at the door the truth is all inside
