lyrics

i'm shaking the knives off my chest and off my back
my shirt get soaked and stained in black
i'm white in the face, i fall and crawl on the floor
I try to get to the front door
but I've got traced down by the informers
from the blood streams on the floor
they've got cameras, recorders and they're hiding microphones
once again I've earned my place in hell or just on your front page
raise your thumbs and catch the hi-fives, you're the hero once again
till the day it's all over
and then you find yourself talking to no one
it's been a long time since we last spoke
and all the words i had inside choked
i don't care, you're all dead
reset your mind from everything you think you know
and I will do the same here in my head
keep on acting like i'm dead
for what it's worth keep on acting like I'm dead
so what's wrong with you, all the questions that you ask?
My lips are stitched up for the press
are you FBI? Airport security?
Get that cop grin off your face
i'm biting my tongue till it falls on the floor
i'll spit out my blood without a single word
if All Cops Are Bastards
so are you
