Angels As Predators - A New Dawn Lyrics

The deal is struck, the lines are drawn
Penny for your thoughts but you don't have none
The wheeling and dealing it took too long
Behind your eyes there's no one home

Bending and breaking you just like a twig

Now you're on a mission
For a very high price
Some third world country really needs your advice
Best not to question
Just follow along even when it's all wrong

Falling in line again just like you're told

This is the way that we live
This is the way that we die
Thirsting for some kind of truth
And never seeing the light (Listen and obey)

Wake up, wake up its just a bad dream
Things are never quite as they seem
Marry it, or bury it, but don't make a sound even when it's holding you down

Twisting and turning you like a doorknob

They made you dark on hollow in the inside and that candy shell will melt in time
Always thought that you would live forever, but it only took 3 licks to get to the center

Best not to fight it just follow along

This is the way that we live
This is the way that we die
Thirsting for some kind of truth
And never seeing the light

You could try to break free but the lies will outlast you
Your soul is a hole and your life's a disaster
Your folks are proud, could never escape their grasp
Now you're on the wrong side of the grass
And your life, is a hate crime, sold your soul
For fool's gold (They made you that way)

This way you feel
That way you look
Read you read you like a comic book
Tried to quit but you soon got hooked
Look in your eyes says this flight's been booked

You should have paid more attention in school

Give in, give up, or run for your life
Don't feel all tied up inside
Speed it up slow it down
Never gonna last
Life's just passing you by so fast

Feels like you're always just crawling up hill

This is the way that we live
This is the way that we die
Thirsting for some kind of truth
And never seeing the light
We need a new dawn of reason
