Are you happy being a fraud
The morals you preach
The values you laud
I could never hope to be so desperate bleak or
Rotten to my core
What will it take to calm you down
When your whole life is flipped upside down
You’ve got a lot guts kid boiling over into your throat
Nice to know you
You never knew me
Just an idea of who I portray
in the movies
It’s all just a stage show to you
Does it make you happy
to see me in bondage
tied tight to an anchor
by your rope
Does it make you happy
To fuck up your future
You’ve made a martyr
Im losing hope
You can't practice what you preach
You think it's all a game to me
There's someone breathing on the other side
Yet you still have the guts to try
I didn't know it would come to this
These chemicals should never have mixed
Chain reaction we explode
Radiation overload
We’ve lucked out a hundred times like lambs to the slaughter
You never could’ve made yourself any more like your mother
When I sleep it feels so cold, but your side remains so warm
The sutures in my heart are broken, scarring, battle worn
The paleness on my finger, where the never touched
You wore me like that ring, I held you like a crutch
Our bodies move in perfect rhythm, a calm collected flow
Like barbarians on lion back, was it for war or just for show
