Cast out, but I'm no devil
A mortal man with a silver tongue
Face the truth, we're born to lose
I cannot believe it's come to this
I can talk my way through natural selection
Put my car in cruise control and drive in one direction
When we see it clear as day
We'll already be too late
I know it's hard to face the truth
But it's right before us all
Feel the empathy, and the unity
And you'll never let it go
Self-fulfilling prophecies
Built on our commodities
From dangerous yellow to envious green
We're all just caught in the space between your lies...
Light another flame and set your anger free
But I will not believe the lies they tell me
We can change the course of history
So please just listen to my words this time
Just listen once, but listen well
We've won the lottery by stealing from the wishing well
You've told yourself a lie you don't believe yourself
But, I believe that you can face the truth
(We want change, but we won't pay the cost)
And, I will face the chaos that ensues
(We want change, but as we see...)
The pillars all begin to crack
A burden on a broken back
The blame is on us all
But, we're all just caught in the space between your lies...
Light another flame and set your anger free
But I will not believe the lies they tell me
We can change the course of history
So please just listen to my words this time
Please just hear me out
Don't say that there's another way
Until you've gone and beat the game
Don't say that we're one and the same
When you're still breaking me down
Cast out, but I'm no devil
A mortal man with a silver tongue
B-b-b-breaking me down
Face the truth, we're born to lose, my friend
I cannot believe it's come to this again
Breaking me down
