"Drawn, Conned & Deceived" lyrics

"Drawn, Conned & Deceived"

Get up!

All I see
Fake and greed
You need a little more than an upper
You're the reason you're alone, motherfucker
One more betrayal
That I cannot comprehend
A self-made jail
Doesn't make you the king of the inmates
Consumed by the senses of panic
You're disillusioned and crawling through the static
You can't resist the addiction to more
And as you're facing their backs
Haven't you been there before

They sell us paper wings
While they keep burning the sky
The air we crave, poisoned by lies
Drowning in the smoke
We're the children they deny
Unable to see the doomsday in disguise

All I see
Neat and clean
There is no need to polish what shines so bright
You're not Da Vinci put the brush aside
You're a bunch of pretenders
So make sure to paint over the cracks
To disguise all the lies you've been spreading
Time will tell if you will die as a legend

They sell us paper wings
While they keep burning the sky
The soil we crave, poisoned by lies
Drowning in the smoke
We're the children they deny
Unable to see the doomsday in disguise

They sell us paper wings
I've sold my future
While they keep burning the sky
Let the flames rise high
Drowning in the smoke
And it covers it all
Unable to see the doomsday in disguise

You're not the first, and you will not be the last
Overestimate yourself until there's nothing left

You will die alone
Tell this to your god
If there's one beside you
Tell this to your god
Even he will deny you
