I shook the hands of millionaires,
it did nothing for my soul.
I've given grace with homeless men,
I've struggled, and I've toiled.
I have lived as some would dream,
but never lost my way.
Some won't believe the things I've seen,
or that I haven't changed.
My footings never faltered but I'm taking a step back.
I'm looking from the outside in, I'm peering through the cracks.
You don't need a reason, hell you don't know the truth.
We just keep believing, in what their telling you.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
You teach me to hate then you make it a crime.
You plan to control, you kill to provide,
How does it feel to be rotten inside?
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
You teach me to hate then you make it a crime
You plan to control, you kill to provide,
How does it feel to be rotten inside?
I'd like to paint a picture, something you can see.
I'd like to do a portrait of this new reality.
Nothing left is sacred, nothing's left unscathed.
When they told you they'd take care of us,
They meant we'd be enslaved.
My footings never faltered, but I'm taking a step back.
I'm looking from the outside in, I'm peering through the cracks.
You don't need a reason, hell you don't know the truth.
We just keep believing, in what their telling you.
You tell me the truth, but the truth is a lie.
You teach me to hate, then you make it a crime.
You plan to control, you kill to provide,
How does it feel to be rotten inside?
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
You teach me to hate then you make it a crime
You plan to control, you kill to provide,
How does it feel to be rotten inside?
Cauterize these wounds of mine,
Stop the bleeding for all time.
Exorcise my deepest fears.
Save me from this house of mirrors.
I am not immune to you,
you are not immune to me.
I don't recognize this world.
Hatred lies conspiracies.
You tell me the truth, but the truth is a lie.
You teach me to hate, then you make it a crime.
You plan to control, you kill to provide,
How does it feel to be rotten inside?
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
Conspiracies, hatred and lies.
You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie.
You teach me to hate then you make it a crime
You plan to control, you kill to provide,
How does it feel to be rotten inside?
