I was always told to keep myself an earshot away

Nothing's as it seems and no one really is what they claim

Show me riches, show me pictures of a candy coated fate

I'm getting drunk on empty promises

And I don't like the taste



I watch your charade, but I still want to play this out

I cannot join this parade and walk among a faceless crowd



You make it feel so right, but we don't all care for your fake paradise

You make it look so right, but I'm a modest man and I'll take my own advice



I was always told to speak and let my words carry me

My voice is only wind, it whispers to your dead fallen trees

Wish I could crash your inner party, you wanna make us double think

Wish I could save this generation, but I don't know what to say



I watch your charade, but I still want to play this out

I cannot join this parade and walk among a faceless crowd



You make it feel so right, but we don't all care for your fake paradise

You make it look so right, but I'm a modest man and I'll take my own advice
