human props Songtext
von Static Dress

Standing face to face
The world above
With a warrant to save themselves
Chasing stars
When all you do is play the part

No room for wasting time
Plastic artists, the ladder climb
Monthly flavour I′d deny
Exploitive cherry is the subtle scum silent choice

Lie to make it fair
Would they even care?
If I saw through my naivety
This building's burning, yet they just stand there

So calculated, so precise
Stop down playing my pain


House burnt down, now we′re screaming
Criminals
Straight criminals (straight criminals)
Lying never felt this good
It's gone way too far

Say it so straight-faced
As I'm burning
Myself to death in your hollow morgue
But never touched the art you proudly put on display

House burnt down, and we′re screaming
Criminals
Straight criminals (criminals)
Lying never felt this good
House burnt down, now we′re screaming

Say something convincing
Then take from me
Lying never felt so good
Criminals
Straight criminals


Flash back
Repeat the feeling
Tongue tied
By my own regret
Flash back to the both of us
With curtains closed
I think it's best we let it go

House burnt down, now we′re screaming
(Say something)
Lying never felt this good
House burnt down, now we're screaming
(Say something)
Lying never felt this good
It′s gone way too far

House burnt down, now we're screaming
(Say something, say something)
Lying never felt this good
(Say something, say something)

House burnt down, now we′re screaming
Criminals
Straight criminals
Lying never felt this good
House burnt down, now we're screaming

Say something convincing
Then take from me
Lying never felt this good
Criminals
Straight, straight criminals
