This Deception

This deception it cuts no deep,

And your perception

Is cloudy and weak!

To the ones departed.

Blame ominous skies,

Can't you see the look in my eyes!

The sight of your face it brings me pause,

And the sound of your voice just because,

I thought you were dead,

I wished you were dead,

Gone to the sound of applause!

The promises we keep,

While all the others sleep.

Vows to the maker,

now who's nothing but a taker!

Life is just another sin

It's either you want out or in,

Say your prayers to the setting sun.

and go back to square one

All that glitters cannot be gold

I've seen your smile

it feels so cold, so...

Another day another dollar

Hear these words and you'll know who I'm after!

The sight of your face it brings me pause,

And the sound of your voice it’s just because,

I thought you were dead.

Wished you were dead,

Gone to the sound of applause!

The promises we keep,

While all the others sleep,

Vows to the maker,

now who's nothing but a taker!

Life is just another sin

It's either you want not or in.

Say your prayers to the setting sun,

and go back to square one!

Cash your memories on the table,

it's whether you're willing or able,

Say your prayers

To the setting sun,

and go back to square one!

As far as the eye can see,

Everything looks black to me,

Nothing to hack it up,

Back-handed compliments.

Just fuck things up!

I would rather die, and run you down

Then go on living

Bleed bleed bleed by example!

Life is just another sin

It's either you want out or in,

Say your prayers to the setting sun,

and go back to square one!

Cash your memories on the table,

it's whether you're willing or able,

Say your prayers

To the setting sun.

and go back to square one!

Bleed bleed bleed by example!

Go back to square one!
