Circle of Irony Video (MV)

Take a deep breath, let smoke seep into your lungs
I hear the words that you are saying, the lies upon your tongue
I've abandoned self-respect; your words grace careless ears
As you corrode away your dignity, you drive away my tears
Liquor on my breath and a subtle, nagging fear
The skies are growing colder, a trait the people share
Beckoning, becoming, we fall into disease
My words a humble calling for us to finally perceive

So beaten, battered I lie
Wearing a smile that cries
This world is going to hell
I'm just along for the ride

Dance with your lies, we're all on the hook
Another glance, a deceiving look
Open your mind and your lines will be mistook
In this grand charade, it's the blind who lead the stock
Round and round in the circle of irony
The way we mindlessly play our parts is blasphemy

So take your pills, let them drug and let them teach
The only way to escape this pain is to numb your icy feet
There are no antiseptics that will slow or stall disease
For the plague upon this earth, the one we cannot see
These minds are bound by chains of their own design
Hiding from the truth behind a clever disguise
It's not the first time that we've made a mess of this
And it wont be the last time I critique your senselessness

So beaten, battered I lie
Wearing a smile that cries
This world is going to hell
I'm just along for the ride

Dance with your lies, we're all on the hook
Another glance, a deceiving look
Open your mind and your lines will be mistook
In this grand charade, it's the blind who lead the stock
Round and round in the circle of irony
The way we mindlessly play our parts is blasphemy

And you can say what you like
Yeah, go and say that you tried
But I know what keeps you awake
As you lay there at night

Swipe right for love, left for empty fantasy
Digital affection lacks a shred of empathy
We've traded conversation for emoji hieroglyphs
Pretending that we're poets when we share our hollow GIFs
A cycle of delusion in this fractured cyber space
We mask our insecurities behind a filtered face
Desperation in disguise, we're just modern jesters
Playing parts in twisted scripts, The farce our true professors

So beaten, battered I lie
Wearing a smile that cries
This world is going to hell
I'm just along for the ride

Dance with your lies, we're all on the hook
Another glance, a deceiving look
Open your mind and your lines will be mistook
In this grand charade
It's the blind who lead the stock
Round and round in the circle of Irony
The way we mindlessly play our parts is blasphemy

So here we are, the punchlines' clear
A tragic comedy we hold so dear
Laugh it off, let the curtain fall
For you're absurdity, I laugh
At you all

Wohohhh

Hahahaha
