The Audience

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm the lie you use
When surrounded by snakes and talking sharks
Be mindful the words you choose

Their eyes reflecting a purpose, calling
Welcome to the feast
Will you follow their actions and play a game
And as they step, will you repeat formalities?

Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests

Time ticks forward, towards the bomb
Of undoing all that I once loved
Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're

Done, crossed a story, you were always a maybe
Here, there are no absolutes
Oh, used and abused, now left for show
They laugh from their perch to let you know
There's no letting go

Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests

Time ticks forward, towards the bomb
Of undoing all that I once loved
Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're done
Be here when you're done
Be here when you're

This is my audience
Forever one, together, burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are

(This is the story of a boy)
(Who lost his way and found the fire, fire)
Awestruck, his courage lost
Damaged goods, a trust now long retired

This is my audience
Forever one, together, burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are

Take all matters into your own hands
And I, and I, I let them play with the coward you can't command
And I, I, I now you're just a memory of humanity

(The audience, I will show all of myself)
This is my audience
Forever one, together, burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are

This is my audience
Forever one, together, burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are
