lyrics

Bait me in
and spoil me
in the gingerbread house
and keep my senses declined
blunt enough
just point at what’s to love

’cause all the friends are here
this circus is way cheap
So why should we meet any real
You think it’s choice of crowd…
Sure… with a narrowed sight
that you let them see

You lied so much that you fool yourself
TAKE OFF THE COSTUME!
You’ve been wearing it so long
you forgot who you are

But I still know you!

You degrade
what you’ve hailed
Your idols of youth came noise in your junk yard
„near” is enough
Don’t mix up a clown with a star

You exactly know what a harm you do
NO APOLOGIES!
You chose the easier way, now it’s time for you to
FACE THE MUSIC!

You’re raping
the floundering
body that has been stabbed

And exploiting
hijacking
the crowd that thinks you’re the only one who’s left…
You’ll never see
what this is all about
just popped in to have a bath in the stolen fame

Gotta learn how to create
‘cause to steal is not a power
It’s so clean
Now take your dirt away!

’cause I still know you! A parasite!
Stop poisoning the scene
So come back when you have something to give
And make it through for real
