-Simple Minds- (my take on Reality TV)

Social issues programs broadcast live
Portraying wasted time as the way to live your life
Exploiting stolen youth now fertilized..with pride
Shameless fabricated wives romanticized
Seeking viewers thirst for their actions justified
Spoiled children branding broken lives..party time

One look
Inside
TV screens with these simple minds
Does this define you
Useless
Fake lives
Replacing truth with these scripted lies
What have we come too

Reload (3x)
Reload it

Futures fleeting dreams now paralyzed
Blinded by these things brainwashing youthful minds
Believing in the notions of the lies
Morale suicide of dignity and pride

One look
Inside
TV screens with these simple minds
Does this define you
Useless
Fake lives
Replacing truth with these scripted lies
What have we come to

Reload (3x)
Reload it

Bridge

Reload (3x) Reload it

-Snake-

Yeah (scream)

Somewhere out of line
This pain is everything I need
Waiting for the time
To find the snake inside me
No more living in this nightmare
I know I will not be seen
Running like a coward
Or suffering

With everything inside of me
I reach to fight the enemy
In you
And in this moment I am free
Release the animal in me
On you
Then come and cleanse me

Broken down the waste of everything I ever knew
Nothing quite as haunting as the memories of you
I douse the flame that burns
I’ve lost all subtle grace
Now watch as my love turns
To rage

With everything inside of me
I reach to fight the enemy
In you
And in this moment I am free
Release the animal in me
On you
I’ve lost all self control
Everything I’ve known is fading
I am the one that’s letting go
Escaping every part of you
To cleanse me

Let it, Let it, Let it, Let it, Let it out

-Leader-

Verse1
Leader out of line I see you
Walking with that pride like everything you do
Is perfect
Worth it
Famous
Broken

Chorus
Lies
Hiding what’s inside you
I try but I can’t find what good you’ve done

Verse2
Leader shine a light to guide you
Answers are above you not laid out upon your floor
Just listen
Insistent
Crowds in
Uproar

Chorus 2
From the lies
Hiding what’s inside you
I try but I can’t find what good you’ve done
Disguise
I’m wishing I was blind too
The truth at times I’ve got half a mind to ruuuunnn

Just run


Run away from
Run away from
Run away from
Run away from
Run away from
Come let’s run from

The Lies
Hiding what’s inside you
I try but I can’t find what good you’ve done
Disguise
I’m wishing I was blind too
The truth at times I’ve got half a mind to run
