lyrics

Sometimes when I’m all alone, left with my thoughts
I question just how come I can’t cope like everyone else does?

How could I ever go to sleep again
knowing what I now know?

This is all a gameshow.
You’ve been playing games with my better judgement.

I’m drifting through the herd down some foreign city alley.
Faceless as the next one, do they even know the time?
Whose to say what happens when I finally kick the bucket,
Born again in the arms of the reaper.

For what it’s worth, I remember the way,
The way that it was before my devotion was hollowed out and you salted the dirt.

But now I can see through the cracks in my fairy tale.
How broken and bitter a man can turn with a taste for hopeless fantasies.
Oh no, I’m a fool to think the con man would count his blessings.

Did you really think that you were in control,
hiding your contempt from the season of eclipses and haunted hearts, no?
Can’t believe I let so much slide to be cheated by such a tiny creature.

You would turn the blind eye black if it suited this deceptive cadence
with a snap of your fingers. Why even bother?
Can’t believe you would twist the knife to defeat it. Am I just another trophy?

For what it’s worth, I remember the way. The way that it was before.
But I walked out that door and I won’t shed a tear for you.
