I have seen you slip
Are you really happy
Or just trying to forget

Every joyful moment is reciprocated
By a desperate and lonely thought

Force it out of your mind
Shove it all inside

Shove it all inside

You're suggesting, what would be the end result?

Would we be perfect?
Plastic hiding our grief in a shell of a
Conscience until it bursts at the seams

Or would we be able to deny our frustration
Entrance and live a perfect existence?

There is a balance, negativity needs
To exist, pain needs to persist

Your creation, the creation
Is just a veil covering your self destruction
Everything you know is a lie
Everything you know is a lie
Everything you know is a lie

Everything you know is a lie
