Open your eyes
Look past the darkest sky
Open
Open them
Open them wide
Look
Look past the cotton candy sky
I see through it
I see through all of it
Through your goddamn lies
Hypocrisy is all talk you see
That's the surprise
Yeah
Licorice lies
Open wide
Licorice lies
Take a step back
Take a step back
Open
Open them
Open them wide
Look
Look past the cotton candy sky
I see through it
I see through all of it
Through your goddamn lies
Hypocrisy is all talk you see
That's the surprise
Yeah
Licorice lies
Open wide
Licorice lies
We live in a world
Where there’s nothing left but to lie to one another
Every day a lie
And through the cobwebs
We live like spiders spinning more lies
And when I see my friends walking down the street
I don’t say hello anymore because what’s the point
They’re just gonna lie
Their faces like serpents slithering in disguise
Yeah
Licorice lies
Open wide
Licorice lies

I’m working for the man
I don’t kiss his ass
I like to keep it cool
He don’t notice me
But I don’t give a fuck
8 to 5
It ain’t so bad
I keep my head high
And my eyes forward
Don’t listen to the bullshit
People have too much time
Life’s a game
But I refuse to play it
Breaking the rules
Is too much fun
So what's it gonna be
Mr. Man you or me
I ain’t gunning to win mediocrity
Where do you see me
In all of this
Am I there
Do I exist
I’m working for you
No
I don’t give a fuck
About your shit
Where do you see me
In all of this
Life’s a ladder
For you
Step on me
I’m working for you
I’ll sit here
And bide my time
If I work hard enough
I’ll really shine
Yeah right
Mr. Man I’m coming for you
Mr. Man what are you gonna do
I’ve seen you try to help yourself
Look around there’s no one else
Look around there’s no one else
So what’s it gonna be
Mr. Man you or me
I ain’t gunning to win mediocrity
Where do you see me
In all of this
Am I there
Do I exist
I’m working for you
No
I don’t give a fuck
About your shit
Where do you see me
In all of this
Life’s a ladder
For you
Step on me
I’m working for you

Mercury’s in retrograde
Venus has her hand in spades
Karma has left the building
Tonight there’s a full moon
And it’s rising
It comes in 3s
It comes in 3s
Rips the seams
And cuts you clean
Can’t you see
Yeah why can’t you see
We’re not free
Until it’s 3
Unraveling the threads of the mind
Your left eye has turned blind
Tie the knot a little tighter
I’m sinking slow
But if I move I’ll drown faster
It comes in 3s
It comes in 3s
Rips the seams
And cuts you clean
Can’t you see
Yeah why can’t you see
We’re not free
Until it’s 3
Until it’s 3
It’s coming for me
It’s coming for you
It doesn’t specify
We’re all gonna lose
Violate me
Violate you
Doesn’t specify
It comes in 3s
It comes in 3s
Rips the seams
And cuts you clean
Can’t you see
Yeah why can’t you see
We’re not free
Until it’s 3

We sell nothing
Because we are nothing
An illusion playing tricks
On the eyes of the skies
Walk around and see
For yourself and me
A box within a box
Welcome to the holy
The only place you’ll be
Yeah or not
The skies of my eyes are dark
The skies of my eyes are dark
The skies of my eyes are dark
Blue skies are gone
Gone
With the wind they’re gone
Whatcha gonna do
We sell nothing
Because we are nothing
An illusion playing tricks
On the eyes of the skies
On the eyes of the skies
On the eyes of the skies
The skies of my eyes are dark
The skies of my eyes are dark
The skies of my eyes are dark
Blue skies are gone
