lyrics

In a new world
And you're so naive
You thought a little love
Would solve everything

They're animals feeding on anything
The rotting parts, they strip clean
Scavengers preying on a wounded being
Waiting on a drop of blood
Thought they weren't around?

Digging away for something new
These little lies they always choose
They say it so harmlessly
Push it so honestly
They think it's true

Penniless and often stressed
There's a massive swell
When there's nothing left
A perfect plan a grifter gives
The mindless fall and we all bend

This all seems more insane than I thought
I'm begging for something new
I'm holding on

They've got the need to tell you that you don't know
You've got to bleed to feed yourself, something's wrong
Up top trickling, that's not wealth, just feed

The kind is gone but something rules
It's nothing new
They want it all, there's no room for you
Peel it away, expose the truth
You got to tie their noose
They say it again and you fall
Believe it again it's your fault
It's a ruse
