They tell you what to say
When you don't know where to start
You never want to change
Until they pull you apart
They let you catch your breathe
Before they break your heart
Never comfortable
Forced hands deceive
Forced hands are fraught
Your best interest is their cause for alarm
You try to walk away
Before the world gets dark
You give them every inch
Still they demand a foot
You're put there on the spot
Panic induced response
Never out of their harm
Forced hands deceive
Forced hands are fraught
Your best interest is their cause for alarm
Forced hands deceive
Forced hands are fraught
It's never enough so they'll break your worth
They force your hand
They force your hand whether you like it or not
Forced hands deceive
Forced hands are fraught
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Their best interest is their cause for alarm
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Forced hands deceive
Forced hands are fraught
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
They force your hand whether you like it or not

Masquerade

I can see right through you
I play along to try and keep the peace
In your deceptive smile
Just a shell of the person you used to be
The image you convey
Was never true to yourself and it shows
It's all just one big act
And it's played out over and over
You play pretend through stories shaped
The masquerade that you're living out every day
Is tailor-made, burden-free
But this facade is all you'll ever be
It’s all you’ll ever be
I know you want me to bite
I know you want me to take the bait
But you’re so lost in the plot
In all the stories that you create
That you don't know yourself
You’re projecting your bullshit on us
Now tell me what's the point
What is the goddamn point?
And as you take your place
Centre of the stage
When the curtains raise and you cue your lines
Will the performance tonight be where you let it shine
Or will you face a truth, one that you try to hide
That the portrait you paint was just a lie
And the more you're exposed the more you're vulnerable
And that's all that's left, all you're remembered for
Just the mask you wear concealing your true guise
You play pretend through stories shaped
The masquerade that you're living out everyday
Is tailor-made, burden free
But this facade is all you'll ever be
You made your bed the wrong way
The masquerade that you're living out everyday
Will start to crack, wise to the act
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
We witness the collapse

I'm a simple mind
No special skills in life
Just trying to find
Happiness in troubled times
Getting left behind
Is a fear of mine
Feeling out of place
Every step I take
Echos of disgrace
Through these memories shaped
Happiness in troubled times
Life keeps on coming
I'm breaking down every fucking time
Holy fuck
Happiness in troubled times
Or is this all I'm ever gonna find
There's gotta be more to life than this
Than just all of this bullshit

Intimidate, do you feel great
The spit that you project while you scream everything you say
Is measured by the depth you crave
To be significant in a world where you're obsolete
I won't back down
I won't back down
You pressure me and pull your strings
To see everything just how you would expect me to see
Cause thats your pride, it’s in the way
Of you being another respectful human being
I'm not afraid to find retreat
I'm not going to let you get to me
I won't back down
I won't back
Fuck all the verbiage you spit out with grace
There's no fucking substance and no sources made
You speak out your ass and assume it means shit
You're not as important as you wish to be
I won't back down
I won't back down
I won't back down
I won't back down

You're spiralling out of control
Those vacant eyes tell a story of regret
And now you're drinking alone
Wondering where all your fucking time went, now
I see you gripping at life
Lines
All sentiments aside I really hope you make it out alive
Another Wednesday night
Another dingy dive bar
What are you looking for?
It's not like you don't notice
Im sure those drunken messages play it back
The morning after sinks in
Shameful regret from the decisions that you've blacked out!
I see you gripping at life
Lines
I know it takes some time but at some point you reach the end of the line
And then it plays on repeat
The cycle of retreat
The failure in your mind
I see you gripping at life
Lines
I've heard it too many times and I can see all the pain that's behind those eyes
I see you gripping at life
Lines
All sentiments aside I really hope you make it out alive
