about

First single from the upcoming second E.P.

lyrics

Should I go, should I go it alone
Should I stay, should I try the champagne

Bend in two just to sell the real you

This is the life, the eternal lie
The fake supremacy that everyone dreams

Bend in two just to sell the real you To fame and fortune everything new
All right

Are we born again
When we meet our end
Will the life we've led
Meet the specification of our own demand
What we once condemned to be an awful sin has now become our own guilty trend
Turn down the television, Turn down the television

This is not an anthem nor a party song
It’s a stand for the people you love those

Rejects, prefects their own devices
Shunned away by the regular masses

Are we born again
When we meet our end
Will the life we've led
Meet the specification of our own demands
What we once condemned to be an awful sin has become our own guilty trend
Turn down the television, Turn down the television

As cameras roll, the kingdom falls
As cameras roll, the kingdom falls
As cameras roll, the kingdom falls
As cameras roll, the kingdom

Are we born again
When we meet our end
Will the life we've led
Meet the specification of our own demand
What we once condemned to be an awful sin has now become our own guilty trend
Turn down the television, Turn down the television
Correct your singular vision
