lyrics

Your fear is a weapon against you
They wield it all too well
Tragically misled
This farce will surely be your end

These lies are a weapon against you
They wield them all too well
Relentlessly misled
You’ll bear these scars on your head

Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the edge of the blade?
Did you feel yourself cease to feel
When you locked the door to your own cage?
Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the tip of the spear?
Did you sense the forking of your tongue?

These lies as a weapon you wield
You know them all too well
Willingly misled
You’ve become the threat you fear

Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the edge of the blade?
Did you feel yourself cease to feel
When you locked the door to your own cage?
Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the tip of the spear?
Did you sense the forking of your tongue?

Fair to say that we had blind spots at the time
Undercurrents and tides
Cling for dear life
Fair to say circumstance has pried open eyes
Undercurrents and tides
Cling to those lies

These lies as a weapon you wield
We know them all too well
Refuse to be misled
You’ve become the threat that you feared

You are the threat you fear
Cling to life
Cling to lies

Fear as Currency

Taste the poison, it fills your mouth
Taste like poison, you’re getting to like it now
Your eyes can’t decide
Taste the poison, it hits your veins
Taste the poison, repeat these refrains
Your eyes can’t decide

Spin these lies: disseminate disseminate
Recite these words: decimate decimate
Repeat them now with a dash of truth
You become them and they become you

Your eyes can’t decide
Taste the poison, it clouds your eyes
Taste the poison, until you lose your mind
Your eyes can’t decide
Your eyes

Wear them down and separate separate
Recite these words: indoctrinate indoctrinate
Repeat them now with a dash of truth
You become them and they become you

Finally fear is all you know in time it takes its toll
Finally fear is all you know and you surrender control
Finally fear is all that’s left what a sorry way to waste your last breath
Finally fear is all you know this fear is all you know
Fear is at the heart of this

Traitors
Become the poison
