Queensryche Bent Lyrics
Bent by Queensryche
Same old lies, sequester the nonbelievers
Don't forgive the ones who trespass against us
Smiling deceivers, painted faces by the wishing well
You don't even trust yourself
Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past, from the past!
The stillborn star we'll never know
The parent's love that won't let go
The bullied teen that's ready to shoot
A tear and a 21 gun salute
Welcome to the age of misinformation
Seeking control, your reflection's a stranger
Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past
As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently
The poisoning of tribes
To the lifeline of Flint
Now the black snake, it crawls deep within sacred grounds
We will never consent
The night-watch man just buying his time
An outcast, a resident, a transient, the punishment
One dollar bill, no table for two
So many questions no one ever asked
As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently
As we all fall down
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently...
Don't forgive the ones who trespass against us
Smiling deceivers, painted faces by the wishing well
You don't even trust yourself
Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past, from the past!
The stillborn star we'll never know
The parent's love that won't let go
The bullied teen that's ready to shoot
A tear and a 21 gun salute
Welcome to the age of misinformation
Seeking control, your reflection's a stranger
Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past
As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently
The poisoning of tribes
To the lifeline of Flint
Now the black snake, it crawls deep within sacred grounds
We will never consent
The night-watch man just buying his time
An outcast, a resident, a transient, the punishment
One dollar bill, no table for two
So many questions no one ever asked
As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently
As we all fall down
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently...
