lyrics

Dress up in your 3-piece suit
And slip into your plastic skin

Play it safe and you’ll get to the middle
Follow the sheep straight to the slaughter

Quiet
They’re listening
We whisper but the walls are too thin

Please break me down
And build me up
Into your perfect picture of me

All that I am
Is not enough
For the fakes I that try to please

Shatter the distorted mirror
That reflects their vanity
In which they force upon you
Creating false pride and masking anger
To hide their insecurities
That you are a better man than who they are
They do not want you to know this

But know this
Don’t let them have you
You are the gold that they long to be

Please break me down
And build me up
Into your perfect picture of me

All that I am
Is not enough
For the fakes I that try to please

Now time to rise
Take back your life
Watch as towers fall
You are no pillar
So watch as these fakes burn down
Fuck what they’ve said
Fuck what they’ve told you that you are, you are gold

I’d say – choke on your pride – But you have none left now that I am gone
