lyrics

Every time you speak to me
It’s with a forked tongue
Never wanting to lose your shine
You’re everybody’s friend
Present distortions of yourself
To keep them at your side
But your weakened heart shows through
And reveals the truth

I’m sick of dealing
With all you kids
As you hide behind
The masks of men

Now the surface has splintered
The cracks are showing
You circled like a vulture
To pick at our spines
Not one for confrontation
You cowered in shadows
But now your shallow breathing
Exposes what we knew to be true

The games you played have kept you
Out of the light of truth
Blinded by a false perspective
That you could lie right through
You’ll fall down where you stand
Flooded in your own hypocrisy
No way to rise again
Defeated by your own fallacy

You could have been
So much the better man
But you failed to
See beyond your own ends
And now your lies
Have all come crashing down
I hope you see
Why these bridges have been burnt

This could be the most important record to come out in the last 20 years. So good musically it's scary. So poignant in its message, it's scary. Millwall D.
