Majestic Travesty

This is a majestic travesty
Just to see it burns my eyes
So many hopefuls follow
The winding staircase spirals down

They think that they are the only ones
With a grasp on selling dreams
Of what you are and what you can be
But as the dead rings hollow

They sell us tales of fiction
Songs of war with a child's conviction
They serve up faux aggression
To satisfy your blood addiction

Ten tons of mindless drabble
Amount to nothing how hard they try
It's like a gated community
Along the dirt road of milked dreams
It sometimes feels like I am the only one
In this place who can hope and think
So if your world comes crashing in
Would you survive, go on and live again?

They sell us tales of fiction
Songs of war with a child's conviction
They serve up faux aggression
To satisfy your blood addiction

This is a majestic travesty
Just to see it burns my eyes
So many hopefuls follow
The winding staircase spirals down

They sell us tales of fiction
Songs of war with a child's conviction
They serve up faux aggression
To satisfy your blood addiction
