lyrics

Ashes fall like leaves
Fire like waves & a disease
Watch it burn to the ground
Paranoid dreams. Oh they spread around.

On our way down off the ledge it all made sense
The answer came to me faster than it went
We’re made to look like fools
When we want to see.
The wizard behind the screen
Oh, watch as he tugs and pulls at the strings.

Choking as the smoke surrounds us
Gasping for air or anything
Blinded as the smoke surrounds us
We’d rather be looking at a screen.

Colorful things. Contemporary.
Dressed in the latest fashions, oh modernity.
Flashy bling. Diamonds and vice.
It all depends on which flavor you’d rather try.

On our way down off the ledge it all made sense
The answer came to me faster than it went
We’re made to look like fools
When we want to see.
The wizard behind the screen
Oh, watch as he tugs and pulls at the strings.

Choking as the smoke surrounds us
Gasping for air or anything
Blinded as the smoke surrounds us
We’d rather be looking at a screen.
