Dunsel lyrics - Protest The Hero song

And when the underworld's best kept secret saw its own reflection
I knew things would finally change
For better or worse, whatever as always

Midlight fires start to burn and burn down upon pretention
I won't take pictures from their frame, whatever as always

With the hands that sold me everything,
Slapped a price tag on my chest
Bit my tongue and shut my mouth,
Tried to blend in with the rest,
But I'm a square peg, I'm a sore thumb
And it seems to me this apathy kills the life and artistry(?) industry

All these songs sound so damn good, even if their meaning's hollow
Hollow words dry out your mouth
You might find it hard to swallow

All this shit that we keep feeding
To keep ourselves and you believin'
And no money could change us
Then a door opens up and some devil persuades us

The songs we sang when we were just young
Have all bypassed their meaning,
But there's still a few things that we keep on believing

Shitty music just ain't worth making
Smiles and “thank you”s just ain't worth faking
Some assholes' hands just ain't worth shaking
And if it ain't broken, we need to break it

There's no such thing as unconditional
No contracts bind you in the end
Make no mistake, this is a killing ground
Blood-hungry and camouflaged as friends,
Select 'yes' at the end of this mess (if you get there), and it's your only fucking option left

These days I don't know the people I'm supposed to trust,
And I don't trust these people that I'm supposed to know
The handlebars on my dreams slowly start to rust
They'll take everything and somehow you still owe
These cocaine cowboys finally get their wings, and sell them all for blow

These days I don't know the people I'm supposed to trust,
And I don't trust these motherfuckers that I'm supposed to know
The handlebars on all my dreams, they slowly start to rust
The cocaine cowboys finally get their wings, and now sell them all for blow

I make music for myself, not for (?) from the upper tier and their undeserving wealth
Here's to their failing fucking health

I don't mean to seem this hateful way,
But when the people you love start walking away
The world gets darker each and every day
Take your last bite before it crumbles away
There's something inside me I just have to say
I'm nothing, trust no one, just live for the motherfucking day
