" Those toxic smiles, a contact high, Imaginary friends are easy to find"
imaginary Friends is a central song on "The Cage I Was In", describing
the opportunistic individuals we all come across in our lives. "All the demons are here, dressed in social graces".
lyrics
Knock knock knock
No one answers
Having nothing to give
Is a social cancer
Take take take
Everything for granted
Career criminals
Caught red handed
The laughs were lies
And though we try
Imaginary friends
Slip on by
Those toxic smiles
A contact high
Imaginary friends
Are easy to find
Back and forth
Facing two faces
All the demons are here
Dressed in social graces
Speaking in tongues
Words are always twisted
No matter the attention
Consistently missed it
Learned long ago when we played hide and seek
Seem to hide the most from those we hope to keep
Pretending was so fun and easy to do
Why show this world the real you?
The laughs were lies
And though we try
Imaginary friends
Slip on by
Those toxic smiles
A contact high
Imaginary friends
Are easy to find
