Forked tongues
Rip 'em out

Line by Line Meaning
If this is what it takes
If surrendering to the false facade is the only solution
I'll bow my head in shame (fuck this charade)
I will humiliate myself, but this deception must end
Among liars and fakes
Surrounded by hypocrites and phonies
And the insincere
In the company of those who are dishonest
What I've seen, what I know
My personal experiences, knowledge and exposure
Fuels this rage, fuels this hate
Ignites the fury and hatred inside of me
I can't control
I am unable to contain
Forked tongues
Deceitful speech and fabricated promises
Rip 'em out
Physically remove the tongues that speak lies
