Coheed and Cambria - The Audience lyrics

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm the lie you use
When surrounded by snakes and talking sharks
Be mindful the words you choose
Their eyes reflecting a purpose
Calling, "Welcome to the feast"
Will you follow their actions, and play game?
And as they step
Will you repeat their formalities?

Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests

Time ticks forward towards the bomb
Undoing all that I once loved
Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're

Done, crossed, a story
You were always a maybe
Here, there are no absolutes
Oh, used and abused, now left for show
They laugh from their perch to let you know
(There's no letting go)

Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests

Time ticks forward towards the bomb
Undoing all that I once loved
Come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're
Done be here when you're
Done be here when you're

This is my audience
Forever one, together burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are

This is the story of a boy
Who lost his way and found the fire, fire!
Awestruck, his courage lost
Damaged goods, a trust now long retired

This is my audience
Forever one, together burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are

Take all matters into your own hands
And I, and I, I let them play with the
Coward you can't command and I, I, I
Now you’re just a memory of humanity
(The audience i will show
All of myself)

This is my audience
Forever one, together burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are
This is my audience
Forever one, together burning stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing what and who we are
