lyrics

Why do I feel like I have something to hide?
First, my clothes then you take me aside
To a private room where no one is around
Your hands all over, nothing is found

None of this is real
This world you’ve built is frail

Inside your walls you have the rain
The children run about, they have no pain
The beautiful girl takes her picture again
Preserving a life which sees no end.

None of this real.
No
This world you’ve built will fail

Outside your walls there is a desert
Where people only have the water in their skins.
Beneath the walls the red river flows
While the price of blood sits within
Please move your hands and let me be
I’d rather soak in blood and leave.

Why do I feel like I have something to hide?
First, my clothes then you take me aside
To a private room where no one is around
Your hands all over, nothing is found

None of this is real
This world you’ve built is frail
None of this real
This world you’ve built will fail
