lyrics

they took us alive
and made us supply
the promises that led to our demise
we build monuments to miscreants
moving tributes to the dead

but we all want to hate something or someone
it makes us feel alive
it's part of the design

it was a lovely image
such a pretty visage
but the years are never kind
when nihilism, hate, and boredom
are all you use to occupy your time

old wounds - new distractions

we can sell the image
sell the image
the reflection won't reflect on us
they promised a riot
promised a riot
but one riot is never enough
crushed expectations
settle into your stations
you won't hate what you've become
you'll find a new target
you need a target
to keep you blind and deaf and dumb

old wounds - new distractions
