  • Please allow me to introduce myself
    I'm the lie you use
    When surrounded by snakes and talking sharks
    Be mindful the words you choose

    Their eyes reflecting a purpose, calling
    Welcome to the feast
    Will you follow their actions and play a game
    And as they step, will you repeat formalities?

    Thieves of our time
    Watch as they rape your integrity
    March as the beat suggests

    Time ticks forward, towards the bomb
    Of undoing all that I once loved
    Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
    No matter, I'll still be here when you're

    Done, crossed a story, you were always a maybe
    Here, there are no absolutes
    Oh, used and abused, now left for show
    They laugh from their perch to let you know
    There's no letting go

    Thieves of our time
    Watch as they rape your integrity
    March as the beat suggests

    Time ticks forward, towards the bomb
    Of undoing all that I once loved
    Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
    No matter, I'll still be here when you're done
    Be here when you're done
    Be here when you're

    This is my audience
    Forever one, together, burning stars
    Cut from the same disease
    Ever longing what and who we are

    (This is the story of a boy)
    (Who lost his way and found the fire, fire)
    Awestruck, his courage lost
    Damaged goods, a trust now long retired

    This is my audience
    Forever one, together, burning stars
    Cut from the same disease
    Ever longing what and who we are

    Take all matters into your own hands
    And I, and I, I let them play with the coward you can't command
    And I, I, I now you're just a memory of humanity

    (The audience, I will show all of myself)
    This is my audience
    Forever one, together, burning stars
    Cut from the same disease
    Ever longing what and who we are

    This is my audience
    Forever one, together, burning stars
    Cut from the same disease
    Ever longing what and who we are Writer/s: Claudio Sanchez
