Sucker’s Shangri-La

A false heaven has touched down
This is a sucker’s Shangri-La no doubt
Are you going to be crestfallen?
A mark
Playing a game

I fear your hand
The devil in me wants to know
So I ask

Oh oh

Is your time running out?
Your family fortune
Going up in flames

Child
This is not what you’ve been waiting for
They fooled you
Wanting to believe
It’s a perfect reason
To wave goodbye

You can’t even escape its shadow
You can’t escape crying over photographs

It doesn’t help that he can see you coming
And he knows how to break you like an animal

You writhe just like a worm
Because you are accursed

Oh oh

Just let me lay here
While I vacillate

Do I bend?
Are we bound together evermore?
That’s just how it is
Out to sea without an oar

Drifting off again
With the sirens sounding
Wave goodbye
