Shiny Things Is Good

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes you can feel the rug Pulled from below your feet It's like one minute you're like a rock standing strong And the next you're beat [Verse 2] It's not up to you, something's always there Working behind the scenes Invisible hands handcuffing and last chance bluffing And feeding their greed [Pre-Chorus] Pacified reason, it's adding up to treason We are your slap in the face now, the sons who've been cast out Slip under the wire, our spark ignites the fire [Chorus] It's all smoke and mirrors and a transparent truth Hold it up but don't trust it It's all a hoodwink, disappearing ink on the page Built you up and then crushed it [Verse 3] It's all a bait and switch A blind fold that we must wear A promise of a life so real, so close You can grab it but it's thin as air [Verse 4] Each and every one gets a day in the sun And you just might get one too If you just believe what they're telling and buy what they're selling It could happen to you [Pre-Chorus] Pacified reason, it's adding up to treason We are your slap in the face now, the sons who've been cast out Slip under the wire, our spark ignites the fire [Chorus] It's all smoke and mirrors and a transparent truth Hold it up but don't trust it It's all a hoodwink, disappearing ink on the page Built you up and then crushed it [Bridge] You give it all, get nothing back Just trying to keep your head intact You're just a shape without a soul You grind along until you die Your meanings come in what you buy Spend your life in the dark, end it with a question mark [Pre-Chorus] Pacified reason, it's adding up to treason We are your slap in the face now, the sons who've been cast out Slip under the wire, our spark ignites the fire [Chorus] It's all smoke and mirrors and a transparent truth Hold it up but don't trust it It's all a hoodwink, disappearing ink on the page Built you up and then crushed it
