firezone- for show (lyrics: b. siersema 2014)

you say you’re sorry about the good old days
the lack of strength and courage, that you were in dismay
never knowing, prolonged showing disarray
expression, fashion, the signs that gave away
those marks shone bright, clearly visible today
penetrate through, emitted like gamma rays
hulking me up in radioactive ways
providing keen vision like birds of prey

now you know hoe you’re fake for show
told you so, we are good to go
hop with the trend, no longer commend
used to pretend, punk you’re foe in the end

cheated, lied and stole, had to betray
faked your way in, contempt you display
sympathetic look intended to convey
overplayed your hand and got hell to pay

see right through you and your rodent ways
circling high up above, forever hold sway
involved scheme’s over, the costs you defray
wannabe punk poser, with tears to blink away
your past caught up, pay up for foul play
the glory’s remote, distant, long since faraway
never walked the walk, your street’s one-way
come metal in this battle but you’ll just hit the hay

so now you know, you were fake for show
never a friend no, always a foe
every scene you were in you were always a has been
remission of sin, far too late to begin

curse what you once called the good old days
when you lacked all and fell for your selfish ways
here come the debt that you can never repay
moved yourself in position of valet
cheated, lied and stole, had to betray
faked your way in, contempt you display
sympathetic look intended to convey
overplayed your hand and got hell to pay
