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.
