Set Fire to the Hive

I don't know what's wrong but I'm on fire
It seers through my hands, leaving skin on the wire
Awake in this womb, in a cruel jail cell
When I listen, the same cry plays on

We're slaves
In this medicated cage,
Make a decision to face this change
To rules they don't explain
So why do we obey?

Politics, religion, your vision's the same
You played us, as both a cancer and a cure
Which reminds me that it's just a game
You're alibis: a sales pitch
You pretty boy, pretty face
Dolled up again
A star for us to adore
And you, man, you've got to be more
Cause this affects all

It's nice to know you're with us, you lie
I've seen you in the fog along the way

I'll spit in the mouth of the god
Who whispers in the minds of the children
You've been sold again
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again

You swing this wrecking ball
A howling pendulum
And you hypnotize them all

The writing on the wall
That we keep missing
A structure built to fall
Still, we all obey

It's nice to know you're with us, you lie
I've seen you in the fog along the way

I'll spit in the mouth of the god
Who whispers in the minds of the children
You've been sold again
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again

There's no second chances there
There's no second chances there
There's no second chances there
