Slander Lyrics

They say a man is just as good as his word

A common theme that I've been hearing

From the sheep in the herd

Oh the irony it kills me

Your back is breaking under lies

That you've sewn

It's time to stand up and admit

To all the fiction you own

I'll let this tale be a fable of time

To see who's side you're on

Even when you said it's mine

I feel the things that I've seen have you blinded

You're different people with the same old name

Controlling chaos for the simple-minded

A mouth-breather and you're all the same

You’ll never fucking change

I tried to bring myself to fall in line

But it’s not right

I tried to think that we could be just fine

But it’s eating me alive

So now I’ll stand for everyone in sight

Cause it’s not right

I’ll make you see your fate from our own sight

Until you see the light

Chew us up and fucking spit us out again

You tell lies like the truth is poison

You play god

Like heresy is honor

You sell the freedom of others

To buy your own salvation

Trying to pave a new legacy

But your kind is fucking timeless

A crowned coward being torn apart by peasants

I tried to bring myself to fall in line

But it’s not right

I tried to think that we could be just fine

But it’s eating me alive

So now I’ll stand for everyone in sight

Cause it’s not right

I’ll make you see your fate from our own sight

Until you see the light

I heard hell is nice this time of yea
