lyrics

Shake hands and press skin and circulate…
To avoid conversation you circumnavigate
The man that you were,
and the lines that you blur,
And cross regularly.

Scrape out a living
Carve out a good life
Keep on pretending you’re glad to be alive
The man that you were,
and the lines that you blur,
And cross regularly

You came, you saw, but you conquered nothing much at all…
you lost your own game
You run and hide in artificial night light
Fan the fake flame
Fan the fake flame

Know your religion
Dream of the bad fire
Tangle your hopes up in holy barbed wire
The man that you were,
and the lines that you blur,
And cross regularly

You came, you saw, but you conquered nothing much at all…
you lost your own game
You run and hide in artificial night light
Fan the fake flame
Fan the fake flame

You came, you saw, but you conquered nothing much at all…
(you lost your own game)
You run and hide in artificial night light
Fan the fake flame
Fan the fake flame

Know your religion
