Mortal Hypocrisy

If I spoke the truth
No one would ever listen to me
Because I am a fake
And shrouded in hypocrisy

All they want to hear
Is things that I would never say
But I don't mind
Because my dignity's been stripped away

And now let me lie...
Because all they ever know is
Lies from steadfast hypocrites
And foul play and dirty tricks
And then they die.

If I had a crown
Nobody would listen to me
Because I'm sick and twisted
Sitting high in nobility

And all they want to see
Is a goddess I can never be
But I don't mind
Because I'm basking in mortality

And now let me lie...
Because all they ever do is
Follow the gap-teeth masses
And pretend that they are painless
And then they die.

If I were a genius
No one would ever listen to me
Because they only care about
Beautiful bodies filled with stupidity

So let me lie...
Because all you'll ever know is
I am totally emotionless
But you won't know the truth of it
And then I'll die.
