Mechanics of Deceit

[Verse 1]
Cloaks of sickness
Keeping us sweet
Delusional blackness
Fictional madness
Visionary blackness
Traps are set
Revolving mind-doors
Conspiring our downfall

[Chorus 1]
Which came first, the lies or deceit?
Why did the suffering cross the divide?
The dealer sold his soul to hide
And left us on the other side

[Verse 2]
The corporate lessons for which we burn
Desolate loops in which we turn
Saga of fools
A voyage of trust
No contracts bound
Gathering dust

[Chorus 2]
Which came first, the secret or the crime?
Where does the loyalty cross the line?
The dealer sold his soul to hide
And left us on the other side

[Bridge]
Tranquilize our denial
Vengeance is mine
Capitalize
On regret
Kick aside what aspires
Vengeance is ours
Our defense won't expire

Eat the shit with a smile, don't be frail
Our word is bound
Face the wall, fill the mold that we take
And break with our hands
Sign the line, it's your life
Don't be squeamish
Take the time, taste the sweat
Choke back your tongue

[Chorus 3]
Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics of deceit
Glorified, butchered, bathed in malice

[Bridge]
Sign the line; it's your life
Don't be squeamish
Take the time, taste the sweat
Choke back your tongue
At the shit with a smile, don't be frail
Our word is bound
Face the wall; fill the mold that we take
And break with our hands

[Chorus 3]
Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics of deceit

[Bridge]
Tranquilize our denial
Vengeance is mine
Capitalize on regret
Kick aside what aspires
Vengeance is ours
Our defense won't expire, so beware!
