White Lies

We wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town

They take all of our young
They cut out our tongue
Oh, how we are deceived
We're strong and we're free
And as they sharpen their swords
We follow their lead
And all that we swallow, that we become
And we are, what we all are

But we wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town
But we wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town

They take all of our young
They empty our lungs
Oh, how we are misled
And this means
We're strong and we are free
And what we swallow
That we receive
The fruits from that tree
And what we follow
That we become
We are what we've become

But we wake with bright eyes now
Ours is a white lies town
Bright eyes now
Ours is white lies town

We wake with white eyes now
We are the white lies now
