And Then The Hurricane

The hurricane is coming now, the overwhelming crowd will pull me under,
and it was obvious...

Places everyone, we don't want them to know what we've been up to,
Zip your lips and attach a smile you've been faking since always.

I am the promises you never kept, the face you wear when you're upset,
love the guilty conscience,
So take off all the makeup you've been made up in,
I can't believe they always believed I never caught on to any of it.

The hurricane is coming now, they overwhelming crowd will pull me under,
It's obvious that you are stronger now and I pray someone will help us out,
but we can't win, we can't win ever again because everybody will sell you out...

Everybody, everybody will give an applause to their outstanding performance,
but behind the curtains when they remove their masks,
I believe a standing ovation is a little too much for this fabrication.

Our voices have been drowned out, appearance turned inside out,
Our voices have been drowned out, your only safe haven is your show
Which is slowly burning out, your safe haven is your show which is slowly burning out,
Where are you friends now?

Places everyone, we can't have them finding out what we've known all along,
This trip is false and everyone's on to it.
Please, please don't ask how I know, it must have been the cover you blew a long time ago...

Well it's so obvious, finally I've figured you out
Everybody, everybody will sell you out
Everybody, everybody will sell you out.

My only concern is myself
