about

lyrics

Pictures taken but they are without you
A snake-like salesman with a silver tongue
A face so perfect with a terrible attitude
He tried so hard to be one of us

There you go again fighting your fate
Pushing the buttons of saints and faith
There you go again fighting your fate
Pushing the buttons of saints and faith

We all are of design
Flawed imperfect we come
We all are of design
The dark is where we come from

We melt with you in silence
Eating every word you say
Could you bring me the power
It will take us away

The vice that keeps you Is a lead filled tomb
Wait for water with the words you use
Drowning yourself in all the lies exhumed
Your belly filled with all the lives consumed

There you go again fighting your fate
Pushing the buttons of saints and faith
There you go again fighting your fate
Pushing the buttons of saints and faith

We all are of design
Flawed imperfect we come
We all are of design
The dark is where we come from

We melt with you in silence
Eating every word you say
Could you bring me the power
It will take us away

Snake oil, on display for all to see
Snake oil, selling us the lies and dreams
Selling us the lies and dreams
Selling us the lies and dreams
Selling us the lies and dreams
Selling us the lies

We all are of design
Flawed imperfect we come
We all are of design
The dark is where we come from

We melt with you in silence
Eating every word you say
Could you bring me the power
It will take us away
