The Deceiver 04:03
lyrics

When did we all become Replicas of a lie They said Let's feed the world our bullshit And watch our profits soar Well I've seen this all Over and over again But it's a little different Than before Now you are hooked on something That isn't you No matter where you dig You're just not breaking through And if for a second you were something Like before Would you deny the deceiver At least, try to ignore Don't waste your breath With apologies No one's going to care You work so hard To be like them Yet, you don't compare Now you are hooked on something That isn't you No matter where you dig You're just not breaking through And if for a second you were something Like before Would you deny the deceiver At least, try to ignore Can you try to ignore

Now that I have your attention (This) is beyond your comprehension It was there for the taking You left it open for the breaking Now we are here to fix the perfect And it's always worth it Waking the dead Let's do it again It isn't the first But, we're good at making it worse It doesn't compare But see if I care I needed the hit Doesn't matter what you think of it Now don't you feel forgotten We made your face so rotten I'm sorry it doesn't thrill you But, at least it didn't kill you Waking the dead Let's do it again It isn't the first But, we're good at making it worse It doesn't compare But see if I care I needed the hit Doesn't matter what you think of it Look at me I'm the prodigy Of what you used to be I'm inclined To take what you've defined And make it mine Waking the dead Let's do it again It isn't the first But, we're good at making it worse It doesn't compare But see if I care I needed the hit Doesn't matter what you think of it

Masquerade 04:41
lyrics

Slip into your new skin Obsessing your disguise Afraid of your scars You've been around once or twice Marking from your past Cover stains upon your feet Lost in misconception Where hate and heavens meet Wake up You have been lied to This is a masquerade Hands are worn and pale Atrophied and frail But once behind your mask You tell a different tale Tell me your intentions For the useless interventions Covered in doubt - foot in your mouth Or was it just my perception Wake up You have been lied to This is a masquerade If I could be what I wanted I'd be a child's tear You have no safety in numbers Being alone and in fear There's nothing left to fight for Now I can disappear Wake up You have been lied to This is a masquerade

The Result of Negligence 04:34
lyrics
download
Oh no - Something's wrong We are not where we belong What happened to the bright, big future That we heard on the radio Why are we still on the ground Dragging along and fucking around We were busy only dreaming of what We all heard on the radio This is the result of your negligence This is the result of your negligence Keep telling yourself it gets better From here on out This is the result of your negligence You keep putting on faces Like it changes who you were You're still ugly on the inside But they don't tell/sell you that on the radio Warning - may cause nausea Headaches, coma or death I'm so glad I never listen To what they say on the radio This is the result of your negligence This is the result of your negligence Keep telling yourself it gets better From here on out Keep telling yourself it gets better Until you start to fall apart Calling all mannequins Show me what you've got (Nothing I haven't seen before) I guess that's the price we pay For living our lives on the radio Being the best of someone else So original But, can we stop for a second And kill the voice on the radio This is the result of your negligence This is the result of your negligence Keep telling yourself it gets better From here on out Keep telling yourself it gets better Until you start to fall apart

Static 04:20
lyrics

I've become what I hate the most Suck it all dry and I've become the host Just when I think I'm close enough I'm a million miles away And I'm happy where I stay I have fallen for lies that I have never believed Taken the bad with the good, and everything in between I've been handed the worst - or so it would seem Now the static is getting to me I can't help but throw things away Now I know, the bad piece was me Nothing ever seemed to fit And I have turned it all to shit Nothing ever seemed to fit And I have turned it all to shit I have fallen for lies that I have never believed Taken the bad with the good, and everything in between I've been handed the worst - or so it would seem Now the static is getting to me Say goodbye to what used to be This will never be the same I have fallen for lies that I have never believed Taken the bad with the good, and everything in between I've been handed the worst - or so it would seem Now the static is getting to me

Obsessions 04:43
lyrics

This has gone too far from our control We've grown accustomed to your facade Covered in plastic, but lacking a soul You've got some nerve thinking that you can play god Drastic times, they call for drastic measures Playing offense at your own game Can you feel the ground beneath you rupture Time is ticking for your fifteen minutes of fame Since when do we find obsessions To be in our best intentions I never thought I'd see the day Where I would - and I could Fall for being fucked A little bit is allowed to stay But, it's preparing to self-destruct Since when do we find obsessions To be in our best intentions I guess you get what you earn I gave a shit That's what I get in return Since when do we find obsessions To be in our best intentions

The Mistake We Embrace 04:06
lyrics

They want us clean-shaved Well-behaved They want us slaves to the music We'll never be what we want to be And it's making me sick We all react to what they're bringing back It's a distraction from the music The more we listen The more we're fooled The more we forget the gimmick

From Here 05:20
lyrics

Is this all a dream Is this all a hallucination Can you make it seem Like there's no sign of devastation Where do we go from here Don't let it disappear Kill the distance Am I aware This existence of hope is Fairly an instance that can't compare But my resistance will still be there Is this all a dream Is this all a hallucination Can you make it seem Like there's no sign of devastation Where do we go from here Don't let it disappear Dare I say this As if you care I never feel the same And that's not fair It's a price I pay And I'm not scared There's some things you just Can't repair Is this all a dream Is this all a hallucination Can you make it seem Like there's no sign of devastation Tell me what I have to do Is there room for me and you

A Vicious Reality 04:00
lyrics

Storm clouds Make their way The second the smoke clears I see the horizon Standing vertical It's exactly how I feared Time well wasted, I must say Sure as hell wouldn't have it any other way And to all the people who succeeded In bringing me down I've got just one thing left to say This is my last confession Censored for your protection I want to make amends Then do it all again If I had the chance I wouldn't change it For the world This is my last confession Censored for your protection I want to make amends Then do it all again I wish I could Do it all again

Enemy 04:35
lyrics

You'd like to think that I have given up I'd like to see you try You'd like to think that I'm running away Well -- so long, farewell, goodbye Well, I've had enough I see through your bluff And I'll raise you everything That you have grown to love I see through the mask I don't think you'll last With your so-called "honesty" And the lack thereof I can't be this enemy You hoped I'd become I can't fill the void to make you Feel more welcome The last thing I had hoped to be Was broken and numb But I think I am ready for Whatever may come

about

The debut album from Industrial Rock act Deconbrio, Obsessions of a False Idol lashes out on the stamp-and-go styles of today’s entertainment industry. The album is portrayed from multiple angles: the entertainment industry (”Let’s feed the world our bullshit and watch our profits soar”), the consumers (”We all react to what they’re bringing back”), and the voice of reason (”Wake up. You have been lied to. This is a masquerade”).
