Porcelain Gods

Beware false prophets, take a stand

My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand

More advice to fill up your head

More empty words from the living dead

Seek to explain what can't really be said

How disappointed I was

To turn out after all

Just a porcelain God

That shatters when it falls

Too much will kill you, too little ain't enough

You shout my name but I'll call, you're bluff

Most who see me, see me not for real

We fake and fawn, playing games 'til dawn

I could see, oh, what you can see

Yeah, and I hate too, oh, what you hate in me

How disappointed I am

To find me part of no plan

Just a porcelain God

That shatters when it falls, yeah

When it falls, yeah, yeah

I shake it off and start again

Don't lose control, I tell myself

Life can take many things away

Some people will try and take it all

They'll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl

How disappointed I was

To turn out after all

Just a porcelain God

That shatters when it falls

Shatters when it falls

Beware false prophets, take a stand
