Lyrics

Close your eyes
Pretend that nothing happened
And believe that thus Truth will hide

Close your mind
Pretend that you're ignorant
And believe that thus you escape the martyrs' side

Chorus But when the truth is stuck in your throat Bad breath
Are you a victim, a scapegoat? Bad faith
And when your life is stuck in your throat Bad death
Are you born to survive? Bad fate

Shut your ears
Pretend no ghosts haunt your heads
And towards future pasts take a ride

Shut your dreams
Pretend you're only human
And believe the child in you has died

Chorus But when the truth is stuck in your throat Bad breath
Are you a victim, a scapegoat? Bad faith
And when your life is stuck in your throat Bad death
Are you born to survive? Bad fate

Bridge You're free like smoke

Lock your heart
Pretend you're nothing human
And disguise cowardice as pride

Lock your wrongs
Get confused in denials
And reject on others what you can't abide

Chorus But when the truth is stuck in your throat Bad breath
Are you a victim, a scapegoat? Bad faith
And when your life is stuck in your throat Bad death
Are you born to survive? Bad fate

Bridge You're free like smoke You'd breathe but you choke
