Set Fire To The Hive Lyrics - Karnivool

I don't know what's wrong but I'm on fire, 

it seers through my hands, leaving skin on the wire 

Awake in this womb with a crown sting in my self 

When I listen, the same cry plays on. 

We're slaves 

In this medicated cage 

make a decision to face this - change. 

The rules they don't explain 

So why do we obey? 

Politics, religion, your vision's the same 

You played us, as both a cancer and a cure 

Which reminds me that it's just a game 

You're alibi - a sales pitch 

Your pretty boy, pretty face dolled up again 

A star for us to adore 

And you man you've got to be more 

Cause this effects all. 

It's nice to know you're with us today 

I've seen you in the fall along the way. 

I spit in the mouth of your god 

who whispers in the minds of our children 

You've been sold again. 

Set fire to the hive as you flee 

It's fiction, a faceless illusion 

You've been had again. 

You swing this wrecking ball 

A violent pendulum 

to hypnotise them all. 

The writing on the wall, 

That we keep missing 

A structure built to fall 

Still we all obey. 

It's nice to know you're with us today 

I've seen you in the fog along the way. 

I spit in the mouth of your god 

who whispers in the minds of our children 

You've been sold again 

Set fire to the hive as you flee 

It's fiction, a faceless illusion 

You've been had again. 

There's no second chances here 

There's no second chances here 

There's no second chances here.
