PERCEPTION Lyrics

Cast out, but I´m no devil

A mortal man with a silver tongue

Face the truth, we´re born to lose

I cannot believe it's come to this

I can talk my way through natural selection

Put my car in cruise control and drive in one direction

When we see it clear as day

We'll already be too late

I know it's hard to face the truth

But it's right before us all

Feel the empathy, and the unity

And you´ll never let it go

Self-fulfilling prophecies

Built on our commodities

From dangerous yellow to envious green

We´re all just caught in the space between your lies...

Light another flame and set your anger free

But I will not believe the lies they tell me

We can change the course of history

So please just listen to my words this time

Just listen once, but listen well

We´ve won the lottery by stealing from the wishing well

You´ve told yourself a lie you don´t believe yourself

But, I believe that you can face the truth

(We want change, but we won´t pay the cost)

And, I will face the chaos that ensues

(We want change, but as we see...)

The pillars all begin to crack

A burden on a broken back

The blame is on us all

But, we´re all just caught in the space between your lies…

Light another flame and set your anger free

But I will not believe the lies they tell me

We can change the course of history

So please just listen to my words this time

Please just hear me out

Don't say that there's another way

Until you've gone and beat the game

Don't say that we're one and the same

When you're still breaking me down

Cast out, but I´m no devil

A mortal man with a silver tongue

B-b-b-breaking me down

Face the truth, we´re born to lose, my friend

I cannot believe it's come to this again

Breaking me down
