lyrics

Wag your tongue, smog-choked lungs
They called you brave, foot in the grave
They never knew the real you
Your storied grace was just a face
They praised your name—this, your shame
A house of cards will fall so hard
Portray for these: Socrates
You thought them cruel—you were the fool

The tales you told, the men you'd scold
The lash you'd give, the lie you lived
I am you, you are me
Pharisee

Walk with me (Pharisee)
Talk with me (Pharisee)
Hypocrite (Pharisee)
Travesty (Pharisee)
Putrid heart (Pharisee)
Liar's art (Pharisee)
Lust and pride (Pharisee)
Homicide (Pharisee)

They shook your hand, house on sand
You walked so high, built on lies
Teachers laud, deeply flawed
Peers showed ire, your mouth spit fire
They never guessed, just like the rest
Hid in plain sight, put up the fight
In light you'd bask behind the mask
Life was fake, you twisted snake

The tales you told, the men you'd scold
The lash you'd give, the lie you lived
The masses stirred, their acts demurred
The cohort cried, it stoked your pride
The hands you'd strike, head on a spike
How tall the tale, beyond the pale
I am you, you are me
Pharisee

Flesh smells ghastly as it burns
Far too proud to ever learn
Always holier than thou
Whose foot is the shoe on now
Statements uttered, fragrant lies
Why so quick to crucify
What'd you ever hope to gain
Your achievements, down the drain
Gained the whole then lost it all
Cursed with an eternal fall
Boiling blood and skin of ash
Payment due for your abash
Witness torment that you cause
Meditate and give you pause
Vitrified integument
Lest you at no time repent
