lyrics

Left open on the shelf I saw the face of a man that never lies
And when he speaks, the words they leak as they race up to your mind
Like his breath the words they reek of the filth around his life
Without bait he walks the streets, as his life becomes a lie

I am the anger I am the sore.
I have lost control
With every mirror an open door
Let it all out

Here with me now I’m sure all of his life’s a blur
Contract for his soul
Given up for war

Here in vain he swears on everybody’s name
Though he will never win the fight
Stitching to survive

I saw the face of a man that never lies
And when he speaks your livid cheeks brush the fire from the end
One by one we wish to use all the tools within our grasps
Thinking what will happen next when the world becomes discrete

I am here for you as the seraph sings
I am here for you as the siren rises up and says

I saw the face of a man that never lies
And when he speaks, the words they leak as they race up to your mind
Like his breath the words they reek of the filth around his life
Without bait he walks the streets, as his life becomes a lie
