Your thin facade

And vapid display

We’re just a breath away

From our final days

Our freedoms

Lock us in this state

Without a voice

Failures

Take me higher

Open secrets

Kept in prisms

A glass display

Suspects the same

Fears and angst

Your guilt and your shame

Without a thought

Your will’s cast aside

Just a placeholder

Watching us watching them

Watching you watching me burn

Again

Failures

Take me higher

Open secrets

Kept in prisms

Your failures

Take me higher

They’re watching

With five eyes open

Return to me

(Break it down)

Return in spite of this

Return to me

(Cast it out)

Return these flames

Return to me

(Break it down)

Return these flames

Watching us, watching them

Watch me burn

Return these flames

(Pesticide)

It’s in the breaths you take

(Falsified)

It’s in the words you say

(Justified)

It’s in the steps you take

(Cyanide)

It’s in this mess you’ve made

Failures

Take me higher

Open secrets

Kept in prisms

Your failures

Take me higher

They’re watching

With five eyes open
