Trust Is Like an Egg Lyrics

The tension mounts, eyes avoid each other's gaze

A trembling voice, numb from emotion

The tension builds, time is slowing to a halt

I hear the words, can't comprehend them

I can't breathe, can't hear those words

Trust is crushed, to dust and gone

You shed a tear, won't let me near, desire something more

You lend your ear, act out of fear, and then walk out the door

You give me hope, I catch the rope, you let go out of fear

So full of doubt, you're bailing out, and then you disappear

Take my heart

What I gave to you was yours to take, to break or fake my dear

Fall apart

Aimlessly wandering while, lost and tossed and double-crossed

Kalt gestellt the critics are, conclusions not on par

Misinformation is the repertoire

The corporate guise, wrapped around your endless lies

Do you realize, you catalyze your own demise?

Can't you see, what you have done to me?

You pull the strings, until it stings and then you pull the plug

You sell your lies, you mesmerize, and then you tug the rug

Your lackeys nod, they buy the plot, their ticket to the stalls

They walk in line, and bide their time, until the curtain falls

Take my pride

What I build is yours to trade, to hate, or just to let it fade

Cast aside

Dazed and confused I stumble, hear the rumble, watch it tumble

In retrospective I can't deny my share

My imperfective, ineffective, nom de guerre

All in perspective, invective with flair

Stuck to the road, barely afloat, too meek to take the leap

I read the sign, fell back in line, sleep with the other sheep

Feel the dissent, the discontent, desire to aspire

So I pretend and then descend, from riposte to satire

Take my life

What I had was mine to use, to choose, without any excuse

Broken shell

Nothing will remain intact, in fact, the time is now to act!
