Faker - The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die

Will you be faking it when the businesses fail

And your money is revealed for what it is?

Will you be faking it when it’s safer to joke

And the laughter’s seen on screens in silence?

Will you be faking it when we’re tied to the tracks

Denying that there’s rope around our wrists?

Will you be faking it when they’re rounding us up

And your sources all assure it’s just a test?

Tell yourself again

«Nothing is wrong with this place.»

Never say it when

We’re standing face to face

You will be faking it when the businesses fail

And your money is revealed as meaningless

You will be faking it when it’s safer to joke

And the laughter’s shared on threads in silence

You will be faking it when we’re tied to the tracks

Denying that the ropes even exist

You will be faking it when they’re rounding us up

And every coward’s advocating it

Tell yourself again

«Nothing is wrong with this place.»

Never say it when

We’re standing face to face

Faker, if there is a hell

You’ve done what you need to do

If there is a hell

It’s ready and waiting for you

So are we awake yet?

Has it been working?

Can we go home sometime today?

Where do the spirits fade

In our weakest dreams

When belief crumbles away?

Where do the fires start

In the city streets

When the whole flag burns away?

The blossom withers

Of true emotion

And heartfelt honesty

I never dreamed you

Wouldn’t keep your word

But that’s a truth that you can hide

Six-weeks gone

In hyperbolic sleep

We feel our blood pumping weak
