lyrics

Little White Lies
A word to the wise under lowering skies and a knitted fog of proof
See the story-tellers and indulgence sellers offer versions of the truth
Between ancient walls nostalgia falls, serving only to confuse
A penny for the guys in deep disguise …who light the fuse

Chorus
White noise, more hope than expectation
At least I can say that I’ve had my say
In the void, no one can hear you screaming
…We fade to grey

As towers fall some hear the call, the pharaohs fan the flames
The illogical becomes possible, the unspeakable the same
The coral dies as the power lies… through its teeth
Sirens sound as we gather round …beyond belief

In an attic space there’s a painted face, they say it looks like you
If a gilded cage is all the rage, it’s time to push on through
Between mirrored walls Narcissus falls, they say he looks like me
We’re up to our eyes in little white lies …just to be free
