Get this through your thick skull, you’re wrong
So freely, watch as I just end each battle
See, now you know how it feels, I’m gonna beat em all
So good, looks like someone else sure could
But a line is being crossed I never told you that you should
Pick a bone, a false sense of play
Now go play God, looks like you’re running the world
Seems like you mean it, even odds conceited
What are you waiting for? What is the delay?
Realize you’re always to blame
Watch what I become someday
Nothing like before
There’s never enough for either one of us to say
What’s worth fighting for?
You think it’s luck (there is no halfway)
It’s not enough (Has to be more)
Time will find a way
Climbing every wall
Not ready, well I guess you’re finally rattled
See, now you know how it feels, I’m gonna watch you fall
One look, everything is understood
It was always meant to go the way that you thought that it would
Watch your tone, it’s how you convey
That condescending look of yours’ getting old
All that was needed, heated heads were greeted
You walk away from this, we’re far from okay
Only price, you’ll live with the shame
Look what I’ve become, someway
This is what it’s worth
In the end, guess there’s so much to say

Your show, run it to the ground
Can’t wait on the thrill a minute more
Let yourself take the abuse
Can’t think with a crowded mind
Freaking out
Walk fast on the broken glass
Well it won’t matter, you’ve proved it before
Find some other way
Slow down, try to breathe in
You’ll clearly fall apart
You’ve got to choose
Take it day by day
Stand still, just defeat it
Tightrope, can’t stop
Only thing you’ve ever known
Always on the go
Looks like you’re digging your own grave
This life will knock you out
Ask for it, you got it
You’ll see what comes around
You live it, you bleed, you need it
Cries horror story
Already unsteady
Good sense thrown out the window
Burn out in 4, 3, 2, 1
Take credit and the blame
Well it won’t matter when you hit the floor

Well I guess I'll dive in
I gotta change my play
Still outside and looking in, a part of me not of this world
Seems it never ends
Pretend it's all okay
I'm wasting my time, living so many lies
Always the same
I sure put on my best show
It's downright ridiculous
A mess in every way
I can't believe it
Unclear how this all happened
Can't help but think about it
Said and done, I was oblivious
Can't have it repeated
My debt has been repaid
I never really thought this through, never once lived by a code
Where do I begin?
Just sit for a while
All I need's a guide, and everything will be fine
Merely just a game
