That I Could See
HYPOCRISY
From the other side of the screen it must look nice
While I’m living a sham you could’ve gave a damn
From the other side of the screen it must look great
From another place filled with so much misery
My affliction is your addiction
My affliction is your obsession
My disease was your infection
I hope you feel the burn of your creation
From the other side of the screen
While I’m a wallflower
While I’m empowered every single hour
By the ghosts of the world we misunderstood
By the ghosts of the good, the ones who would
The ones who aren’t afraid to face the light
The ones who believe in rebirth
The ones who believe in planet Earth
I hope you choke on the blood you destroyed
I hope you choke on the ones you avoided
Those nagging reasons, those false beliefs
Those Godless heathens, not one of us
The tortured victims in your scheme
The tortured victims, your utopian dream
crumbled, like a king without a crown
like a castle built on sand, like a queen
without a land, a second chance
To dance the final dance
You watch us weakened but
you’re helpless as you gaze
through a haze of smoke and mirrors
the fear you can’t face
crazy
the fear you can’t face
crazy
the fear you can’t face
crazy
The faces that scare me
From the other side of the screen it must look nice
While I’m living a sham you could’ve gave a damn
From the other side of the screen it must look great
From another place filled with so much misery
My affliction is your addiction
My affliction is your obsession
My disease was your infection
I hope you feel the burn of your creation
I watch you from the other side of the screen
am I alive or am I just a machine?
I pop a pill, and wish them hell
I wish them well, oh well
Oh well, we wished them well
Feel the phantom of your creation
Fuel the anger, feel nothing.
Heart thrown upon a falling plane
An emptied dream, looking upon these eyes
The lies fall before you one upon another
Every sister and brother who
thinks it’s not over…yet…don’t forget
Don’t forget what you remember
Withdraw from it, liar
Escape them-forever
The nothing they see
Don’t listen to the truth
All that hypocrisy.
Keep staring at the screen
