System Syn - Curtain Call lyrics

His nervous heart has long stopped beating But the body still pretends that it is me And if all the queues are met The lowest expectation set You will suspend your disbelief And you and I can act like nothing ever happened We can be so unaffected by the course of history If what you've lost gives you a reason to surrender How can you pretend that this is who you want to be Wanted to tell you not to give up That the reward was worth the pain But a lie to ease your sorrow is still a lie And what could either of us hope to gain When you and I still act like nothing ever happened We can be so unaffected by the course of history If what you've lost gives you a reason to surrender How can you pretend that this is who you want to be We let our systems shut down We build so many walls Yes we're afraid, but we are safe And no one ever has to know That we have nowhere else to go We want outside ourselves But it's to late We were acting like nothing ever happened So ashamed to be affected by the course of history And what we lost gave me a reason to surrender I can't remember now what I had hope to be You didn't want to lie to me You didn't want to tell the truth But there was just no other way The world would keep it's faith in you You didn't want to burn it down But you couldn't let it be You sweep the ashes off the ground And you suspend your disbelief By my own hand he said By my hand I will fall
