[Verse 1]

If you wanna step into the lights

Well, I'm warning you, be wise

Nothing goes unnoticed

If you wanna lead or be a star

They'll expose all that you are

Are you sure you want this now

(They will only tear you down)



[Chorus]

Cause they're waiting just like crows on a wire

They pry and conspire, that's all they do

Waiting to consume and devour

The glory and power they gave to you

[Verse 2]

If you wanna step into the ring

Well, you can't hide a goddamn thing

In the end, they'll find it

If you've got a secret deep inside

Nothing's sacred or divine

They will always bleed you out

(They will always bleed you out)



[Chorus]

Cause they're waiting just like crows on a wire

They pry and conspire, that's all they do

Waiting to consume and devour

The glory and power they gave to you



[Guitar Solo]



[Bridge]

There will come a time

When all they give they will steal

They help you think you will find

Know that none of it's real



[Chorus]

Waiting just like crows on a wire

They pry and conspire, that's all they do

Waiting to consume and devour

The glory and power they gave to you



Let this serve you as a reminder

No, they'll never tire, they'll come for you

Cause they're just waiting to consume and devour

The glory and power, so sad but true



[Outro]

You know it's true

You know it's true

You know it's true
