Market Smiles

Verse 1

Empty seats around a cold glass

Smiles bought and sold at the market price

Market price for masks and ghosts

See the worms beneath their lids when shadows fall

Pre-Chorus

They talk of brotherhood

They talk of honor

They talk of nothing at all

I watch them sell the truth for a handful of copper

Chorus

I know the mark that treason leaves behind

It bleeds no red for eyes to see

It takes the value from my mind

It leaves me lonely in the night

It leaves me freezing in the light

I know the mark that treason leaves behind

Post-Chorus

Still standing here

Still walking through

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Gathering pieces of a broken stone

Washing my vision clean from all the rot

All the rot and tired tricks

Wolf in the dark avoids the dry crumbs they throw

Pre-Chorus

They talk of brotherhood

They talk of honor

They talk of nothing at all

I watch them sell the truth for a handful of copper

Chorus

I know the mark that treason leaves behind

It bleeds no red for eyes to see

It takes the value from my mind

It leaves me lonely in the night

It leaves me freezing in the light

I know the mark that treason leaves behind

Bridge

Look at the wine

Look at the blade

Look at the mess that we both made

Dancing through the ashes of the game

Not a single part of me will feel the flame

Chorus

I know the mark that treason leaves behind

It bleeds no red for eyes to see

It takes the value from my mind

It leaves me lonely in the night

It leaves me freezing in the light

I know the mark that treason leaves behind
