[Verse 1] You wear the light Like it belongs to you Smile for the crowd While you poison the room Hands in the air Everybody believes You sell them heaven Then charge them to breathe Pretty little prophet With a mouth full of gold Say what they want Till they do what they’re told I used to listen I used to admire Now all I see Is plastic in the fire [Pre-Chorus] Say my name Tell me I’m saved Build me a cage And call it faith [Chorus] PLASTIC MESSIAH Made to be worshipped Built to expire PLASTIC MESSIAH You promised us heaven Then fed us the fire I saw the cracks Under your skin There’s nothing holy Hiding within PLASTIC MESSIAH BURN BURN BURN [Verse 2] Manufactured halo Stapled to your head You preach resurrection While everything’s dead Everybody loves you Everybody kneels Nobody questions If any of it’s real You learned how to bleed Without feeling the pain Learned how to smile While you tightened the chain You called it devotion I called it disease Funny how gods Always beg when they bleed [Pre-Chorus] Say my name Tell me I’m saved Build me a cage And call it faith [Chorus] PLASTIC MESSIAH Made to be worshipped Built to expire PLASTIC MESSIAH You promised us heaven Then fed us the fire I saw the cracks Under your skin There’s nothing holy Hiding within PLASTIC MESSIAH BURN BURN BURN [Bridge — whispered] Smile for them Lie for them Bleed a little Die for them Make them love you Make them crawl Make them believe You’re anything at all [Build] But I can see you I CAN SEE YOU I CAN SEE— RIGHT THROUGH YOU [Breakdown] FAKE GOD FAKE CROWN WATCH YOUR HEAVEN COME CRASHING DOWN NO SOUL NO FIRE JUST A PLASTIC MESSIAH [Final Chorus] PLASTIC MESSIAH Made to be worshipped Built to expire PLASTIC MESSIAH You promised us heaven Then fed us the fire I saw the cracks I saw the wires Nothing survives When the plastic catches fire PLASTIC MESSIAH BURN BURN BURN [Outro] No miracle No saviour No divine Just plastic Painted To shine
