lyrics

i want to get attention, numerous devotion
but i know it's no use
the tragedy of laughter, we're all a bunch of actors
for the play of our love's reality safe and sound
locked away our true selves quiet as a mouse
now i can't afford it, all the shame and torment
that i thought i deserved in my youth
hope you brought some tissues
this one has some issues
pity me and all my 10,000 ways to deny
anything positive entrance to my life
pertinent to active faults responding to the casting call
no one will be the wiser
to judgments of a lonesome freak hanging on every word you speak
no one will be the wiser
to the code they can't decipher
ironically dispatched by such an urgent plea
pretend it's real, pretend it's all you are
pretend it's real, pretend it's all you came here for
if slavery is really all that you deserve
and prison has your best interest at heart
out of the forceps, into the jaws of death
out of the mouths of slaves onto the printing press
gaiety relaxant, shifting of the accent
time is short, burning up temper's fuse
straining our relation, bringing aggravation to the fore
raising whores, wealth of our need is unsung
political power flows from the barrel of a gun
pertinent to active faults, responding to the casting call
no one will be the wiser
the heads will roll, the bones will creak
you suffer as you learn to speak
no one will be the wiser
to oblivious reminders
of the turning the key inside her
open sesame
hoping to end this please
your life's not so worthless
you really don't deserve this
but still you pretend it's real, pretend it's all you are
pretend it's real, pretend it's all you came here for
if slavery is really all that you deserve
and prison has your best interest at heart
deception is an art
shut up and play your part
