I
I've been brought down by this old hurt
But it seems that my soul still wanders around
While my body has been fed to the wolves
I
I can't tell you where to go from here
I owe you no explanation, not this time
If you must ask you'll never know
Breathe deep
Inhale the ashes of those that came before
Never sleep
My voice will live here to haunt
Forever more
Over and over again
You swore your love to me - my best friend
I'll never forget the life you led
You lived it so foolishly
Your voice still lives in my head
Quoting every word that you said
It all was a dream
You're not who you seem
My dear miss leader
Anxiously avoiding me
Are you in fact ignoring me?
I'm reaching for a hand to hold
Your skin is gray and freezing cold
Just when you think you've gotten me
I see how you've forgotten me
You lead me astray
And I'm sick of it all
You made me feel extravagant
I should've known you sycophant
I can't believe I couldn't see
All the times you lied to me
Could we have had the strongest bond
Are you in fact still holding on?
Well I'll let go just to watch you fall
Take good care
Be sure to find your way home to hide your face
Unaware
You've already disappeared without a trace
Over and over again
You swore your love to me - my best friend
I'll never forget the life you led
You lived it so foolishly
Your voice still lives in my head
Quoting every word that you said
It all was a dream
You're not who you seem
My dear
The blush you wear on the surface
Covers how much you deserve this
Corpses rise
Tears fall from your eyes
They've all come to see the show
Exploit the weakness to tame the defiant
Aim for the head and
You'll bring down the giant
You've built up a set of songs that we all know
So go on now
Give us a show and
Bear it like a badge of honor
Wear it like a crown of thorns
Accept the fact that we would live better
If you had never been born
So bear it like a badge of honor
Wear it like a crown of thorns
Accept the fact that we would live better
The world would be better off
If you had never been born
Over and over again
You swore your love to me - my best friend
I'll never forget the life you led
You lived it so foolishly
Your voice still lives in my head
Quoting every word that you said
It all was a dream
You're not who you seem
My dear miss leader
