'HEART / BREAK' - by Copper Kites

I don’t believe a word you say - the shape your mouth makes
In the light of day - we’re talking horse-shit
Smile away while you lie. The tape denotes a fake
Your trickery betrayed: you'd take it all.

We’re all whores and we have our price
Sell ourselves to the highest bid
Settle scores caught in yesterday’s wars
Where the winner has the highest debt

I’ll keep my eye on you, for signs you’re on the take
Do you practice what you preach? Are you talking dogs hit?
The crocodile tears display – the surplus value made
Misrepresent the concept: fraudulent courtship

We’re all whores without a cause
Sell ourselves to the highest bid
Torrid tours along the crumbling walls
Before the bulldozers come to call
Appetites are never satisfied
Only out for a free ride
Costumes and props – a sting with a con
Hustle your way out of family and friends

You don’t display your marks. You’ve got your camouflage
And if no one asks, you don’t need an answer
It’s just your honesty – time to use a mirror
Nothing could be clearer. Nothing could be clearer.

We’re all whores without a cause
Sell ourselves to the highest bid
Torrid tours along the crumbling walls
Before the bulldozers come to call
Appetites are never satisfied
Only out for a free ride
Costumes and props – a sting with a con
Hustle your way out of family and friends

I sold my soul cheap. I sold my soul cheap. I sold my soul cheap.
We sold our souls cheap.
Heart. Heart. Break. Break. Break. Break.
I felled a forest. I felled a forest. I felled a forest.
We felled a forest.
Heart. Heart. Break. Break. Break. Break.
