Empty Lies

So the light you've always followed
was only in your mind
And the values I drilled in you
fed the empty lie

Your innocence perverted
You're jesting me betrayed
Tell me your dirty secrets
I use to dig your grave
I throw away your hopes
I chew you up inside
I am in everybody
I am an empty lie

I am I to use you for my own
I am I to show you what you are
I am I to feed upon your life
as I cut you open

Chained to the worthless promises
You fear an empty sky
In search of guiding answers
You scream to feel alive

Well now you're bleeding poison
From the look in your eyes
And the cryptic meaning of everything
Was just an empty lie
