Alone in the Facade
May 25, 2019
You think too long at the crossroads
Is there really no place in the world
No place in the world, where I really belong?
I tried putting on an appealing mask
Everyone thinks hypocrisy is the best policy
The children said they had found a hero
I found there was human flesh beneath his bravado
Even with thousands of eyes on me
I'm not a thief
I don't know anyone
Because the city of millions is empty
The wolf told the sheep that to save the city he’d have to eat them
The pig in the pigsty said he was the happiest
