lyrics

It's synergy, it's synergy you're after
You use big words to say small things
Remnants of the spark you had still flicker
You like to keep us all under your wing

I don't want to go into your fade
So many people left to spend
And if I go awry, I know you'll be standing by
To bring me back again
And I won't pretend

To be your dog, to be your mistress
To walk in fabric of pretense
And all your dirty deeds they roll off into the breeze
Your plans for fame give me vertigo
So please won't you just let it go

I don't want to go into your fade
Such an elaborate way to spill
And if I seem contrived, for I've seen straight through the lies
My defense the republic of my will

Your words build like flame, they build like fire
Blind leading fools to eat themselves
Faces course with fear, your one desire
To harvest the souls and leave the shells

I don't want to go into your fade
Pulled by the fables that you spin
For if you get your way, humanity will pay
All our hopes lost for love of sin
I don't want to go into your fade
Beelzebub has razed my town
And to his feeble guise the masses flock like flies
They feel the burn as they go down
