I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie

We've got heads on sticks
We've got ventriloquists
We've got heads on sticks
We've got ventriloquists

Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

The rats and the children follow me out of town
The rats and the children follow me out of town
Come on kids

    its about growing up slipping away from childhood, from innoncence on a subconscious lie the image that we strive to create for ourselves a white lie its about withdrawal about realizing lost innocence about hating who you've become about missing childhood
