  • You gave us what we wished for
    A few tangled strings attached
    Pull back the curtain
    I won't suffer for your amusement

    There's no more dreams for me to sell
    I choose my nightmares wisely
    I don't wanna ruin the story
    But it doesn't turn out well

    You will always be entertained

    Everybody showed up for the execution
    But nobody would show their face
    To shoot you in the back of the head
    And call it sacrifice
    They don't deserve to even say your name

    Put me inside the animal
    Stitch it up and shove us off a cliff
    When they tear the wings from all the swine
    Just monkeys will be left to fly

    The pilot light has flickered out
    And all the ashes will be screaming
    No one can hear my last words
    And no encore once we say goodbye

    You will always be entertained

    You will always be entertained

    Everybody showed up for the execution
    But nobody would show their face
    To shoot you in the back of the head
    And call it sacrifice
    They don't deserve to even say your name

    Assassination
    Assassination
    Assassination
    Assassination

    Everybody showed up for the execution
    But nobody would show their face
    To shoot you in the back of the head
    And call it sacrifice
    They don't deserve to even say your name

    Sacrifice
    Not a sacrifice
    Not a sacrifice
    Not a sacrifice Writer/s: Brian Warner, Tyler Bates
