lyrics

With every single question posed, waiting at the door you've closed
Your back's against the wall
In my school of thought such truth, wouldn't just take down the roof
But take a flame straight to the base and burn it to the ground

With every ounce of respect due, it's safe to say you've not a clue
Your back's against the wall
When in doubt just shout me down, when you're down just turn around
Get ready for the fall

"There's no lie
It's cynical to say"
Your delusions are
Of biblical proportions

Of every story to slip through, this one stayed to poison you
Now you're dead against the wall
Hope should never blur the truth and faith cannot be used as proof
Get ready for the fall

"There's no lie
It's cynical to say"
Your delusions are
Of biblical proportions

And who would have thought that it was you
Who needed saving from themselves

Oh, a lie
Oh, a lie

Olly Jenkins est né au Pays de Galles et a commencé à jouer sur les scènes de Manchester avant d’arriver à Montpellier en 2010.
