No privacy, the words at work we speak
Get played like a game of telephone
Whispered disrespect, the cords around your neck
Hanging you on all your hang-ups
Once you succeed, a wave of jealousy
Washes over those that you called friend
Smiling to your face, until you turn away
Judging you from stories in their head
In their heads they’re telling
Lies, crushing the truth between their teeth
Grinding their jaws in perjury
Deceit moves on with every new turn in the wheel
At the Rumor Mill
Like emo songs
You feel you don't belong
Trying so hard to just fit in
Instead of staying strong, you're turning on your own
Find the weakest link and slit their wrists
In their heads they’re telling
Lies, tasting the bitterness of guilt
Your innocence has been killed, for your pride
Find yourself stuck in the wheel of
Lies, watching them crush the truth in their teeth
Grinding their jaws in perjury
Deceit moves on with every new turn in the wheel
At the Rumor Mill
