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
