  • Lie!

    Turn around, they might be watching
    And you never disappoint them
    Hide your innocence before they see right through
    You mustn't disappoint them

    You need the danger just to feel your heart beat
    You need to die just to find your identity
    You need a knife just to know that you can bleed
    You need the pain now just to feel anything

    We fall in line, we live the lie
    (Give up give up and feed the machine)
    It grows inside, nowhere to hide
    (Give up give up and feed the machine
    Give up give up and feed the machine)

    They pull you faster the cadence is calling
    And you never fall behind
    So choose a face you're only calling out
    You mustn't fall behind

    You need another death just to have a life to save
    You need a master just so you can beg
    You need a light just because you're so afraid
    Now bow and learn to be a good slave

    We fall in line, we live the lie
    (Give up give up and feed the machine)
    It grows inside, nowhere to hide
    (Give up give up and feed the machine
    Give up give up and feed the machine)

    Sleep
    Go back to sleep
    Go back to sleep

    Wake up!
    Wake up!
    Wake up!
    Wake, up!

    We fall in line, we live the lie
    (Give up give up and feed the machine)
    It grows inside, nowhere to hide
    (Wake up wake up and kill the machine)

    Wake up wake up and kill the machine Writer/s: ANTHONY ARMSTRONG, JASEN RAUCH, JOE RICKARD, MARK HOLMAN, ROB GRAVES
