With an air of indignation
Smiles a painted porcelain face
And we're supposed to trust this
Decorum has its place
But you and I beyond that
With a question I might ask
How suddenly the smile doth crack
When we slip beneath the mask
And they're fallible
Yeah they're fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
|
And they're fallible
And you're fallible
And I'm fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
Forgiving nothing
|
God I wanna touch you
In the place you wanna hide
Dare you to come after me
Commit my "narcisside"
Punishing the guilty
Was never the intent
I just busted out of prison baby
That's really where I went
And they're fallible
Yeah they're fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
|
And they're fallible
And you're fallible
And I'm fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
Forgiving nothing
|
In the name of all the power
That's centered in your hand
If you crave some revolution
Take possession of your stand
It's the only one you'll get to make
In a moment come and gone
So do your best to stay awake
And own the path you're on
Cause you're fallible
Yeah you're fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
Infallibly
... Forgiving nothing
|
Cause you're fallible
And I'm fallible
And they're fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
Forgiving nothing
Forgiving nothing
Forgiving nothing
Forgiving nothing
