The Riot

Grab the torches Helmets and all There's about to be a riot I feel like the veil is gone Been on my knees puking the remainder of you Been throwing up your lies My insides are retching themselves of you. Your exterior is so beautiful But your hearts blacker than an eclipse I was walking a tightrope With both sides burning Trapped. You didn't break my fall I ran back to you thinking... Some sort of mistake. Then i saw the real you. Deceit in your eyes. Hate spewing from your mouth Wait! I dated You! Now i see the evil in You. The realization hitting me. You just a Bad illusion I fed on lies from your hand You had me mesmerized You offered me the world Made it look nice Well Now I'm out of your Grip To a father's Open arms Now I'm wearing battle gear Got my torch raised high I'm burning all your holds.... Tell the city to sound the alarms. Cos its gonna go up in flames.... There is gonna be a riot.
