Ivory Lie
My body riddled with a fever of doubt
I can’t shake the feeling I’m burning out
Your presence left a bitter taste in my mouth
Take a new shape when your shine goes down

Love lead us to burning buildings in abandoned towns
Though it was meaningless, there’s still truth to be found
Watch me dull my body to death
With pills, alcohol and meaningless sex
This is my pathetic leisure, a way to deal my self-doubt
This white lie I will tell myself
I’ll find meaning when the days are done
I’ll find meaning when I’m not around

Ivory lie, you’re my manic vice
Deceitful eyes, you’re my manic muse

I see you begging, dancing for my gaze
Your fingers twitching, skin sags/hangs off your face
I took my life into my hands, you wasted your breath for days
A pointless compulsive endeavor
Did you ever make a change?
Church filled with lovers who won't remember you
Your bourgeois vanity trail resembles an empty funeral
Cut the power and end the charade and leave this life you made
Step foot into the living room, the one you never go into

Centered a shallow grave, filled with the lives you claimed
There's a lesson to be learned, from every bridge you burned
Stay silver, not gold
Because in the end, it's not what will unfold
