This Deception

[Verse 1]
This deception, it cuts so deep
And your perception is cloudy and weak!
To the ones departed, blame ominous skies
Can't you see the look in my eyes?!
The sight of your face, it brings me pause
And the sound of your voice, it's just because
I thought you were dead, I wished you were dead
Gone to the sound of applause!

[Pre-Chorus]
The promises we keep
While all the others sleep
Vows to the maker
Now who's nothing but a taker?!

[Chorus]
Life is just another sin
It's either you want out or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one!

[Verse 2]
All that glitters cannot be gold
I've seen your smile, it feels so cold, so...
Another day, another dollar
Hear these words and you'll know who I'm after!
The sight of your face, it brings me pause
And the sound of your voice, it's just because
I thought you were dead, I wished you were dead
Gone to the sound of applause!

[Pre-Chorus]
The promises we keep
While all the others sleep
Vows to the maker
Now who's nothing but a taker?!

[Chorus]
Life is just another sin
It's either you want out or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one!
Cash your memories on the table
It's whether you're willing or able
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one!

[Bridge 1]
As far as the eye can see
Everything looks black to me
Nothing to back it up
Backhanded compliments
Just fuck things up!
Fuck!

[Bridge 2]
I would rather die and run you down
Than go on living

[Bridge 3]
Bleed, bleed, bleed
By example!
Bleed, bleed, bleed
By example!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Life is just another sin
It's either you want out or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one!
Cash your memories on the table
It's whether you're willing or able
Say your prayers to the setting sun
And go back to square one!

[Bridge]
Bleed, bleed, bleed
By example!
Bleed, bleed, bleed
By example!
Bleed, bleed, bleed
By example!
Bleed, bleed, bleed
By example!

[Outro]
Go back to square one!
Go back to square one!
Go back to square one!
