[Verse 1]
Can you hear the bells toll?
It's Christmas sale at the mall
Can you see the horizon burn?
Glowing neon of grocery store

[Chorus]
So you believed they cut off your wings
These marks on your back are whip scars
What you thought was a morning star
Was just a cigarette lit in the dark

[Verse 2]
You dream of wielding a sword
True hero that saves the world
But you will die in bed, alone
Scared, obese, most likely overdose

[Chorus]
So you believed they cut off your wings
These marks on your back are whip scars
What you thought was a morning star
Was just a cigarettе lit in the dark

[Post-Chorus 1]
You already know
That you are not in control
You'rе being controlled
[Post-Chorus 2]
You already know
That you are not choosing
You're being sold

[Bridge]
You already know
That you are not buying
You've been bought
Gift-wrapped and delivered

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
So you believed they cut off your wings
These marks on your back are whip scars
What you thought was a morning star
Was just a cigarette lit in the dark

[Outro]
Doors open when you knock
Answers come when you ask
So give up, bend over and pray
I mean pay
It's time to pay
