lyrics

you don't like to scratch the surface to discover the truth
you, you want your life to be easy and smooth

afraid of the things that may come to light
afraid of the truth, afraid of a fight
pull in the head to avoid a clash
duck out before it comes to a crash

drowned out by your louder words
my quiet remarks have been ignored
you never listen to what i say
but i know about the games you play

you betray

and i am sick of you
your smile is not true
it's easy to live, to love, to breath
and to smile while cheating

like you do

you don't mind about the victims of your abuse
you, you only think of your good excuse

your regulations protect your lies
but i'm not afraid and i will rise
i try not to think of the rules you made
i try to live and not to fade

don't cross my way

cause i am sick of you
your smile is not true
its easy to live, to love, to breath
and to smile while cheating

like you do
like you do

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music! Brett
