Shrine of Wire

Nicolas Cage Fighter

I hope you pray for clarity
Dead in the dirt
Head hung in shameAn impossible standard
You′ll never attain
Saturate your frail ego
Fall to your knees
Bow to the shrine of wire

So it falls apart
Lacerated by the imitation of your pain
Idolising others draped in sexuality
Vapid actions denigrate the common misery
Do you expect me to give you a break?
Tarnished modesty, foreign concept, long forgotten
Childlike innocence has been corrupted into nihilism

Romanticising mental illness has become a fashion statement
Adorning burdens on your sleeves
Fall to your knees

I hope you pray for clarity

Dead in the dirt
Head hung in shame
An impossible standard you'll never attain
Saturate your frail ego
Fall to your knees
Bow to the shrine of wire

Romanticising mental illness has become a fashion statement
Adorning burdens on your sleeves
Fall to your knees

Experience turmoil
The price of your consumption
Distorting confidence
Undermining your self worth
You built this monument
Bow to the shrine of wire
