With a fake stark face
And a messed up past
You can almost learn
To bite your tongue
And play along
They’ll show you what is best
Pick a side and choose your fights
And always check your soul back at the door
You’ve seen it done before
Best deal you’ll ever score
Behind you all the roads froze
And this frost is what you know
…
Wear your rank and loose your face
you’re such a fine machine
to send a way yo-yo back with grace
they’ll send you our prayers
Now you’re the same
So play the game
And leave behind you what you know
Chorus:
To tell you the truth
The price that you’ll pay
There’s always the promises
The beautiful lies
And then comes the day
That you can’t turn a way
There’s always the promises
The beautiful lies
With half closed eyes
And nothing to say
You’ve got some sense
So you took the chance
And know to never look
Behind the fence
Where your past is at
You swore that you’ll get out of here
You took the first boat out
To save your skin
Don’t think so much
Behind you…
You wore the rank
And you lost the face
And you did everything
To fit into the frame
A peon in their game
Now you’re the same…
Chorus:
To tell you the truth
The price that you’ll pay
There’s always the promises
The beautiful lies
And then comes the day
That you can’t turn a way
There’s always the promises
The beautiful lies
With half closed eyes
And nothing to say
It’s better this way
It’s better this way
It’s better this way
