"The Good Boy" lyrics

"The Good Boy"

Close those eyes, so scared again
Take the fear and drink it in
Put that mask over your face
You worthless piece of shit

Looking down and giving in
Cover up that ugly skin
Be the slave that everybody
Knows you've always been

You can't look in my eyes
Pretend you don't hear these lies
And all the while I'm just a good boy
Doing what they said

Close those eyes now, once again
Easier to not offend
Place the bars around yourself
Your cosy little path

You can't look in my eyes
Pretend you don't hear these lies
And all the while you're just a good boy
Doing what they said

Just stay inside
You know what's best for you
You never thought this through
Ooh, are you alive?
Just stay the night
There's nothing you can do
We've blinkered every truth
There's no better life
There's no better life
There's no better life
