[Chorus]
Decapitate the shine ’cause people like that
Pretending I’m fine ’cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that
Decapitate the shine ’cause people like that
Pretending I’m fine ’cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that, yeah

[Verse 1]
By these means, I’m responding, but have no parts left to sell
Have only scenes of a life that have been sold just as well
Fall victim to faces with all the tales of escaping
No more fails in the tank, just have these steps for the taking
Hating that it would rain beyond belief
For the casual watcher at the edge of their seat
And I used to think that I could take all I could get
But I must admit now that before you, I just forget

[Chorus]
Decapitate the shine ’cause people like that
Pretending I’m fine ’cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that
Decapitate the shine ’cause people like that
Pretending I’m fine ’cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that, yeah

[Verse 2]
And the spoils go to the brave boys (Boys)
You only count the birds that make a loud noise (Noise)
I imagine that you could’ve, could’ve cut a cold figure
Like what I dream but I forget to take a picture
Why’d you got the laugh coming straight out the gallows?
No weird fishes out hiding in the shallows

All that showmanship is expired (Expired)
Now we know the heart we used to share is beating tired

[Chorus]
Decapitate the shine ’cause people like that
Pretending I’m fine ’cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that
Decapitate the shine ’cause people like that
Pretending I’m fine ’cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that

[Outro]
Decapitate the shine
