08. In Layers

Goliath
by Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil



 

You were the first in line
The first to volunteer
Now you’re the last to learn
they aren’t what they appear


If it’s naivety
it looks best on the young
Give it time, and you’ll be
comfortably dumb



You fall in
You grin
You fake it
Something stirs
and the perks can’t shake it
Ask around
Get shrugs from players
Leads and lies
come wrapped in layers


LIES
WE’VE ALL BEEN COMPROMISED
LIES
NOW ARE YOU SO SURPRISED?

It’s in the air, she said
as she took a shallow breath
It’s in the walls and floors
leaching a slow death

They call you paranoid
It’s how they seize control
And once you’re pacified
they’re gonna steal your soul

You say enough
They call the big boys
You blow the whistle
They crank the white noise
You fight back
They send more players
Kick all you want
You’re lost in layers

LIES
WE’VE ALL BEEN COMPROMISED
LIES
NOW ARE YOU SO SURPRISED?
LIBERTY STARES YOU DOWN
BEFORE IT DIES
LIES
NOW ARE YOU SO SURPRISED?

GOOD OL’ BOYS
CRANK UP THE WHITE NOISE

You hit the first clue
if you drill down far enough
It’s gonna stare you down
until it calls your bluff

We’re all hoarders here
caught in layers of sin
It’s been stratified
beneath our onion skin

Throw up your hands
and hell keeps yawning
Open your eyes
There’s a new world dawning
Sun burns fog
burns all naysayers
Love, like a child
comes wrapped in layers

RISE
WE’VE ALL BEEN COMPROMISED
RISE
NOW ARE YOU SO SURPRISED?
LIBERTY STARED YOU DOWN
BEFORE HE DIED
RISE
NOW ARE YOU SO SURPRISED?
