The lies they feed us

Verse 1

Paper

Cold ink

Torn from the binding

Slick talkers selling us a heavy sinker

Watch

Watch them

Watch the way they pivot

Heavy-handed hollow promises

Selling silver

Giving lead

Chorus

They say the sky is falling down

They say the sky is falling down

Just to sell an umbrella

Just to sell a lie

They say the sky is falling down

They say the sky is falling down

Verse 2

Dust

Settling on the truth

Grime on the glass we used to see through

Dirty dealers

Double speak

Daring us to blink

One hand waves

One hand takes

They tell us it is for our own sake

Our own good

Our own blood

Our own loss

Chorus

They say the sky is falling down

They say the sky is falling down

Just to sell an umbrella

Just to sell a lie

They say the sky is falling down

They say the sky is falling down

Bridge

I saw the light

I saw the fire

I saw the end

Building a wall out of smoke

Feeding the fear until we choke

Nothing is real

Nothing is right

Nothing is yours

Chorus

They say the sky is falling down

They say the sky is falling down

Just to sell an umbrella

Just to sell a lie

They say the sky is falling down

They say the sky is falling down

Outro

Don't look up

Don't look up

Don't look

Torn paper

Cold ink

Just a lie

Just a lie
