lyrics

Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed

I know I can't be perfect
So why do I try
Keep my secrets tucked away
Pretending I can fly
But I am caged by grief
And self pity
Resting my hands on the bars
Screaming its not me

Sublimity seems to come so easily to me
At least that’s what I give out
For others to see
A politician at its best
There's no place for my soul to rest

Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed

Why can't I realize that all
these secrets and all of these lies
All these put downs
all the failed tries
They are not the future
only the ripping away of my pride

Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed

I'm done playing these games
These lies are not me
See the imperfection in the projection
I thought would give me peace
