Ain't What You Say

Your pen brings the sword, strikes the demon cord
I know enough to never trust your word
What is true reality? A formality? You force decree
Then unmasked, put another face to me

Step up to the microphone
Put on your pretty face
White your blooded teeth
Liar! To the end of
All you've built comes crumbling down
The predator beneath
Liar! Liar!

I saw the world today
Every word a falsehood feeding on the naive
It ain't what you say
Your lie ain't that good and I can see up your sleeve

You swear on what you say, but it's not what you mean
Your white, their black, nothing in between
Now you twist reality, fake morality, a view to stay
Confused with the twists, we can't remember anyway

Step up to the microphone
Put on your pretty face
White your blooded teeth
Liar! To the end of
All your life you've been digging our grave
The maw underneath
Liar! Liar!

I saw the word today
Every word a new curve to confuse and deceive
It ain't what you say
It's not truth, fucking nerve, do you really believe?

I opened my eyes
And saw the world today
Every word a new spade to distribute the fault
I opened my eyes
It ain't what you say
What some people say, it's a grain of salt

I opened my eyes
And saw the world today
Pulled by strings to ignite, ignite the hate
I opened my eyes
It ain't what you say
Either shut your mouth, or just speak straight
