Lyrics

Did you think I loved you?
Don't delude yourself
You were nothing
Stolen valour
Edifice built on sand
Illusory glory
Heroic, black market brand
Forgotten by the world
Your deeds will amount to nothing
Wear the makeup, pretty foolish
I know you're addicted to bullshit
Keep playing pretend
While the grown-ups keep on talking
Undignified, offended
When the adults end up walking
Masquerade insecurity
Spineless critics praise to no end
Keep up this fragile house of cards
Built on monuments of dead men
Keep taking the drugs
And complaining you can't find love
Take pride in your degeneracy
Emulate who I used to be
Writhing in your trash-filled mess
How stunning and brave, I'm impressed
Why should I wish you well
When you can't respect yourself
Keep playing pretend
While the grown-ups keep on talking
Undignified, offended
When the adults end up walking
Masquerade insecurity
Spineless critics praise to no end
Keep up this fragile house of cards
Built on monuments of dead men
