"This Deception" lyrics - DEVILDRIVER

This deception it cuts so deep
And your perception
Is cloudy and weak
To the ones departed, blame ominous skies
Can't you see the look in my eyes

[Chorus:]
The sight of your face it brings me pause
And the sound of your voice just because
I thought you were dead
I wished you were dead
Gone to the sound of applause
The promises we keep
While all the others sleep
Vows to the maker, now who's nothing but a taker
Life is just another sin
It's either you want out or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one

All that glitters cannot be gold
I've seen your smile it feels so cold, so
Another day another dollar
Hear these words and you'll know who I'm after

[Chorus:]
Cash your memories on the table, it's whether you're willing or able
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one
As far as the eye can see
Everything looks black to me
Nothing to back it up
Back-handed compliments just fuck things up
I would rather die, and run you down
Then go on living
So
Bleed [3x]
By example

Life is just another sin
It's either you want out or in
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one
Cash your memories on the table, it's whether you're willing or able
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one
Bleed
Bleed by example
Go back to square one
