White Lies

We wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town

They take hold of our young
They cut out our tongue
Oh, how we are deceived
We’re strong and we’re free

And as they sharpen their swords
We follow their lead
And what we swallow, that we become
And we are what we allow

But we wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town
But we wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town

They take hold of our young
They empty our lungs
Oh, how we are misled… and misleading
We’re strong and we are free

And what we swallow, that we receive
The fruits from that tree
And what we follow, that we become
We are what we’ve become

But we wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town
Bright eyes now
Ours is white lies town
We wake with white eyes now
We are the white lies now
