lyrics

Is there anyway, is there anywhere to hide from the stares and remain unaware.
The reckoning of your innocence, the development of consciousness.

Are the hanging happier swaying there?
Should we interfere? Should we even care?
Are the ignorant, really stronger like this?
Is it really bliss?

We are damaged, bleeding from the fall.
The knowledge we seek, will not free us at all.
Helplessly flawed somewhere inside,
Do you believe this lie?

Why do we choose to ignore those oppressed?
Somehow on our own we will discern what is best.
This thinker’s disease has overtaken plea.
We’re not as strong as we would like to believe.

We are damaged, bleeding from the fall.
The knowledge we see, will not free us at all.
Helplessly flawed somewhere inside,
Do you believe this lie?

If ignorance is bliss, why did I feel such pain?
Before my heart was opened I just sought what I craved.
What we call liberty, is merely self-will run riot.

Are the hanging happier swaying there?
Should we interfere? Should we even care?
Are the ignorant, really stronger like this?
Is it really bliss?

We are damaged, bleeding from the fall.
The knowledge we see, will not free us at all.
Helplessly flawed somewhere inside,
Do you believe this lie?
Do you believe this lie?
Do you believe this lie, these lies, this lie?

BELIEVE THIS LIE.

about

Linger regina

Provocative, aggressive, dynamic, sometimes unforgiving to the ears, and at other times elegant. This is the music of Linger, a band that fuses heavier electronic genres with hard rock and metal riffing while carefully dispersing melodic interludes.
