chasing writing on the wall

bullet-proof and ten feet tall

staining minds with every breath

mocking every chance you get



I stand up to you and I see right through you

I hold my fire up to your paper virtue

I stand up to you and I see right through you

I look inside and find there's nothing in you



I scrape my knees and take the fall

bow and kneel before you crawl

weakness pleases, choice upsets

freedom's lost, become my pet



I stand up to you and I see right through you

I hold my fire up to your paper virtue

I stand up to you and I see right through you

I look inside and find there's nothing in you



I want to believe in something I can feel
