Paper Idols

歌詞

Years spent on backs, sliding to avoid the tripwires Stumbled into traps, reluctant yes, all teeth ground down Jokes that we hated but laughed at And passion sought but scoffed at Anxiety and risk outweighed the disappointment Sandpaper hands and dumpster smiles Buzzards overhead and targeting their new found meals For one to live, one must die, in this life Of paper idols, broken halos The cataracts of righteousness have hazed the vision of the masses Of sleepers under overpasses Two eyes like mine, reduced to wheels Much unlike old schoolyard fights There is no win And the steel dust blows, diamond smiles The second hand is winding close We're imploding like varicose Lay down your cards, lay down your arms, concede Believe
