letlive. Lyrics

Well I have to swallow pride, but it's making sick
Swallow pride until you feel sick. My stomach hates that, hates the bitter taste of the truth.

We're here to fulfill every one of your dreams
We'll fulfill your dreams for a small nominal fee. It only costs you your soul.

It only costs you your soul
Your soul is the price to pay for us to fulfill your dreams.

They say the older the bullshit, the more offensive the horn
It's another trick, another matador. If you can take that, then you can fake that until you grow a new mouth to say "I hate the ones that you adore".

(I don't want to be that)
I don't want to be the person who's tricked by the lies, but it's hard to avoid.

If you can take that, then you can fake that
If you can handle the lies and fakeness, you can pretend and fake it too.

"I hate the ones that you adore"
Eventually, you'll grow tired of the lies and realize you hate the idols that others worship.

Swallow pride until you feel sick
Swallow pride until you feel sick. My stomach hates that, hates the bitter taste of the truth.

Bulimia tastes better when you swallow the truth
It's easier to accept the truth when you force it back out again.

If you're equating fame to religion, then where's your faith at?
If you treat fame like it's your religion, where's your real faith?

Go ahead and sell yourself when in rome
Sell yourself to the crowd when you're in their world/territory.

(Now I finally see that)
Now I understand that it's all just a game.

You can make it- nah, but you can fake it
You can pretend to make it, but you're really just faking it.

Although that skin is uncomfortable
Even though wearing a disguise is uncomfortable.

I'd rather show some skin than bear my soul
I'd rather reveal my physical appearance than show my true emotions.

I am the man that existed the year that hell got cold
I am someone who has been through tough times and survived.

Now that I'm mature enough to feel devil's touch
Now that I'm older and can understand the devil's influence/bad things.

We're going to fuck until we're numb
We'll continue to do bad things until we can't feel anymore.

How you like that?
What do you think about that?

How you like me now?
How do you feel now that you know the truth?

We drove a hearse into the crowd and took the willing
We caused chaos and destruction and convinced people to join us.

A leap of faith with a foot on the ground to wait for you
Taking a risk while still having a grasp on reality and waiting for others to follow.

When they say "go" I will say "no"
When people are pressuring me to do something I don't want to do, I'll say no.
