lyrics

You don't know
How you make me feel betrayed, down, low

Well it's another day in Treacherytown
Another tragic fall from a pedestal
I should have never put you up there in the first place
I should have known better, I should have realized
Despite everything you put in your songs
The big, big slogans were big, big lies
That on stage the lights shine brighter
Than in the audience where there is no make-up
To hide the scars and bruises that you've left
Where they recover from being close to you
Apologies will never be enough
But you could've started there, I got so many questions :
Was it just a character?
Did you think it would sell better?
Or did you honestly believe in all of it
And you just lied to yourself among everyone else?

You don't know
How you make me feel betrayed, down, low

Well it's another hero six feet under
Another dismay I will get over
You were my role model
Parts of the reasons I'm me, I find it sickening
I fell for it for the last time
Men of influence they abuse it
Power is cursed and corrupts everyone
You should have said : 'Do as I say not as I do'

You don't know
How you make me feel betrayed, down, low

Really looking forward to this. So much of their recent catalog is exquisitely Dark & majestic and, at times, positively molten. Highly recommend their 'Last' LP as well (esp. "I don't need a god" and "Give me your tongue"). I'm relieved that it wasn't, in fact, their "last". Neshenti
