Into the pit
where honesty's **** and the
truth burns along with the light.
Into the black where the night knows no day
into the darkness
there's no other way.

The unwritten rule that fire's not cool but
we test it to see if it's true
and we blister and burn but
we hope to return to the lies and deceit,
so we cheat and we steal 'til
we no longer feel there's a difference
between right and what's wrong and
it's back in the pit where honesty's **** back
to the place we belong.
