Lyrics

You wear

You present

Like an enemy

In a manner similar to an adversary

A false sense of security

A deceptive feeling of safety

With your bullshit integrity

With your dishonest or fake moral principles

You'd lose it all for your dignity

You would sacrifice everything for your self-respect


And you tell yourself "You're so brave"

And you convince yourself that "You are very courageous"

Yeah, fight for yours until your dead

Yes, fight for what you want until your demise

Well there's plenty of that already filling holes

However, there's already an abundance of that filling voids or gaps

Before you use your fists, why don't you use your head?

Before resorting to physical aggression, why not utilize your intellect?

Sometimes we're overcome by this child inside

At times, we are overwhelmed by the inner innocence or vulnerability

We grow, and never grow inside

We mature physically but fail to grow emotionally or mentally


Well I play games I don't see

I engage in activities without perceiving

Accepting false hospitality

Agreeing to insincere or fake gestures of hospitality

With kind words you disguise deceit

Using pleasant words to hide dishonesty

Yeah, I help you and you screw me

Yes, I assist you, and you betray me


And somehow you think you fool someone

And somehow you believe you deceive someone

Surely someday this mask will fall

Surely, someday, this façade will be exposed

You find a strength in one on one

You find strength in individual conflicts

But there's something real in all for all

But there is authenticity in collective cooperation


Sometimes we're overcome why the child inside

Occasionally, we're overwhelmed by the innocence within us

We grow, and never grow inside

We age physically but remain emotionally immature


And you tell yourself "You're so brave"

And you convince yourself that "You are very courageous"

Yeah, fight for yours until your dead

Yes, fight for what you want until your demise

Well there's plenty of that already filling holes

However, there's already an abundance of that filling voids or gaps

Before you use your fists, why don't you use your head?

Before resorting to physical aggression, why not utilize your intellect?

Sometimes we're overcome by this child inside

At times, we're overwhelmed by the inner innocence or vulnerability

We grow, and never grow inside

We mature physically but fail to grow emotionally or mentally
