Paper Empires

lyrics

The mirror only shows you
The truth you want to see
The poison only kills
The monster that you used to be

All the things that you keep
Hiding from yourself
Pretend that it's all in your head
While you're drowning
In the guilt you feel
The emptiness, the apathy
And never trust what you said

As your paper empires burn
As your house of cards fall down
There's no one left
To play the game
To put it back together again
We watch the paper empires burn

The truth you want
Is only skin deep
The secrets that you hide
Will never make you complete

All the lies build you up
To something that you'll never be
The sickness you can't understand
While the world
keeps on suffering
The emptiness, the apathy
You don't even want to comprehend
