 I'd listen to the words he'd say 
 But in his voice I heard decay 
 The plastic face forced to portray 
 All the insides left cold and gray 
 There is a place that still remains 
 It eats the fear it eats the pain 
 The sweetest price you'll have to pay 
 The day the whole world went away 

 (Around (1:58) a mandolin (or something like that) comes in and plays
 something that sounds 
 like:)

 with them)
