In this song, Chuck talks about people who deny their mistakes and failures and blame society for everything they’ve done. About people who are looking for someone to blame for their mistakes, denying, proving their case, not realizing that all this destroys them from the inside.
[Verse 1]
A condemning fear strikes down
Things they cannot understand
An excuse to cover up
Weaknesses that lie within
[Refrain]
Lies
[Verse 2]
Laying your guilt and pain
On people that had no part
In the molding of a life
That creates its destruction
[Refrain]
Lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your withdrawal in the demise of a life
[Chorus]
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Reaching into the minds of those that created
The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood
[Refrain]
Lies
[Verse 4]
So easy to blame the
Everlasting guilt on a pathetic attempt
To justify the ending of life
[Refrain]
Lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your help in the ending of a life
[Chorus]
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment
