Whitt reveals in a press release that “Lord Of Flies” is about:
Trusting the wrong person because you want to believe they’re something they’re not—whether the person convinced you, or you were just too dumb to see it. It’s a mistake I’ve made over and over again.
[Verse 1]
Am I cursed, or did I do this to myself?
Circling around and around
Like a saint that never closes its eyes
You deny with your hands held tight
You avoided the light
[Pre-Chorus]
I drank from the cup of eternal disease
I once was a blind man but now I can see
[Chorus]
I should've known you were the lord of flies
Looking for heaven in the devil's eyes
Guiding the stars to pave my own demise
I should've known you were the lord of flies
[Verse 2]
You're the worst, but I can see you in myself
Broken but enough is enough
Just a wretch that never opens its eyes
You deny with a voice so loud permeating the night
[Pre-Chorus]
I drank from the cup of eternal disease
I once was a blind man but now I can see
I'll never forgive, no I'll never concede
The worst that you've done's still got nothing on me
[Chorus]
I should've known you were the lord of flies
Looking for heaven in the devil's eyes
Guiding the stars to pave my own demise
I should've known you were the lord of flies
[Bridge]
I should've known you fill my head with lies
I was looking for heaven in the devil's eyes
[Chorus]
I should've known you were the lord of flies
Looking for heaven in the devil's eyes
Guiding the stars to pave my own demise
I should've known you were the lord of flies
