When We Love The Land

Fingers and bones pointed in all directions,
Roses and crowns given to those who lie,
Cheat yourself,
Keep running the facts that never phase,
Blame, blame, that’s the name of the game.

Barriers and walls holding past the insecurities,
Realities and fantasies broken in mirrors,
Cheat yourself,
Keep running the facts that never phase,
Blame, blame, that’s the name of the game.

Hold a position, lie to your physician,
Knowing the truth and running away,
Cheat yourself and play name of the game,
Blame blame we are prone to the pain,
Change, change, no we’ll never change.

Ghosts of the past, haunting an already nightmare,
Zombies and stiffs who follow the same roads,
Unraveling the known and forgetting the true,
Wrong Wrong who is ever wrong,
Name game who's to blame.

Inside shards of glass are spiking,
I think it’s wrong that we hold onto the pain,
Forgive forget who knows the saying,
Let’s just pretend to know who to blame,
Cheat yourself.

Fingers and bones pointed in all directions,
Roses and crowns given to those who lie,
Cheat yourself,
Keep running the facts that never phase,
Blame, blame, that’s the name of the game.

Barriers and walls holding past the insecurities,
Realities and fantasies broken in mirrors,
Cheat yourself,
Keep running the facts that never phase,
Blame, blame, that’s the name of the game.

Hollow walls and cheap porcelain dolls,
All about the lies and trusting the fake,
Vivid pictures of hurting pain,
That’s the name of the game,
You know the drill, the rocky hill.

Hey I know we can play the blame game,
Liars Liars I can hear them whispering,
Truth truth I can hear it yelling,
Dock the world a few points,
Slam the door shut and lie in the game.

Lock everyone out, trust no one,
The name of the blame game,
Give into the lies, drop dead and rise to the skies,
Stop wait a minute,
Stop playing the blame game.

Don’t give into the crimes,
Keep running the mile,
Fighting back to win,
Pushing past to live,
Blame, blame, that’s the name of the game.
