In this sinless city, we wear calluses on our hands
From empty vain hand-shaking, we see the guilt has rise again
And all will fall with or without our good will
So we fool them all, who pray for those who never will

Never been much for pity
Never been much for wishing them well
But I can't help but sever the ties they tied so tight, so well
And on one side they're holding on to what we were
And here we are holding the hands that we severed

And we both let go
And we both let go

The fire burns like cancer, the scarring lasts forever
We all play tricks on fools that see us as their sinless answer

The fire burns like cancer, the scarring lasts forever
We all play tricks on fools that see us as their sinless answer

The fire burns like cancer, the scarring lasts forever
We all play tricks on fools that see us as their sinless answer

And over and over again
And over and over again
And over and over
And over and over, and over

don't say this isn't what you're used to
I know followers like you
I've let down followers like you

don't say this isn't what you're used to
I know followers like you
I've let down followers like you

The fire burns like cancer, the scarring lasts forever
We all play tricks on fools that see us as their sinless answer

The fire burns like cancer, the scarring lasts forever
We all play tricks on fools that see us as their only answer
