Raw Nerve Endings - Transformer Lyrics

Pretend so long it hurts to smile
It hurts to even bother
To show the caring side
It's not all for a lack of trying
Accumulate in clusters
I elevate my lies
I fake a longing cry
I hope to stay alive
I know I shun your light
I've learned to face your spite
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies
Remain so low you assimilate
No regard for culture
Won't kneel to your faith
I've learnt to question what's at stake
The black becomes colour
The rage will be my escape
I fake a longing cry
I hope to stay alive
I know I shun your light
I've learned to face your spite
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies
Time erodes away what remains of faith
You never did any good for me anyway
What good is now if it's too late
Watch me run away
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies

Pretend so long it hurts to smile
It hurts to even bother
To show the caring side
It's not all for a lack of trying
Accumulate in clusters
I elevate my lies
I fake a longing cry
I hope to stay alive
I know I shun your light
I've learned to face your spite
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies
Remain so low you assimilate
No regard for culture
Won't kneel to your faith
I've learnt to question what's at stake
The black becomes colour
The rage will be my escape
I fake a longing cry
I hope to stay alive
I know I shun your light
I've learned to face your spite
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies
Time erodes away what remains of faith
You never did any good for me anyway
What good is now if it's too late
Watch me run away
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies
Now you see a man who realized
The folly in those we call civilized
Mother, I have failed to see your light
Father, I won't heed your baseless lies
