The Lie We Live - Dead Letter Circus

There is more to what you see

You’re vulnerable to hate because it’s easier than love

And you are fed that you are in danger

Shouted from a screen, unfolding from a page

You react and follow blind

Stand up and take your place now

Peace, love, truth, trust, gift, hope, faith, cross won’t shape us now

Fear, loss, shame, blood, pain, cost- we serve you now

We are pawns to our masters laughing above us

Knowing that we won’t even notice the game

All eyes on the ones they’ve chosen to blind us

Viewed from below in the reflection they made

The problem will be made for the solution to be sold

To your face, before your eyes

Tolerance is now the new danger

Shouting at the page, pointing at the screen

We react and follow blind

Stand up and take our place now

One stone cast to the heart of the cancer above us, thrown with our spite,

will tear the king from the throne

We were taught to believe we’re born without power, told who will shine as we

are sold who to blame

We are fools to them

Can’t anybody see what’s happening?

We are pawns to our masters, holding the power

Knowing that won’t see their faces through
