The Audience Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm the lie you use
When surrounded by snakes and talking sharks
Be mindful the words you choose

Their eyes reflecting a purpose, calling
Welcome to the feast
Will you follow their actions, and play game?
And as they step, will you repeat
Their formalities?

[Pre-Chorus]
Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests

[Chorus A]
Time ticks forward towards the bomb
Undoing all that I once loved
Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're

[Verse 2]
Done, crossed, a story, you were always a maybe
Here there are no absolutes
Oh, used and abused, now left for show
They laugh from their perch to let you know
There's no letting go

[Pre-Chorus]
Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests

[Chorus A]
Time ticks forward towards the bomb
Undoing all that I once loved
Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're

Done...
Be here when you're...
Done...
Be here when you're...

[Chorus B]
This is my audience
Forever one, together burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are

[Bridge 1]
This is the story of a boy
Who lost his way and found the fire, fire!
Awestruck, his courage lost
Damaged goods, a trust now long retired

[Chorus B]
This is my audience
Forever one, together burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are

[Bridge 2]
Take all matters into your own hands
And I, and I, I
Let them play with the coward you can't command
And I, I, I...
Now you’re just a memory
Of humanity

(The audience... I will show... all of myself...)

[Chorus B]
This is my audience
Forever one, together burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are
