I Always Hang Myself With the Same Rope

you once cut a friendly figure haunting and bereft
now you cast an ugly shadow guilty and obsessed

so why must you always play the victim? it's time that i wasn't your hero
I've got troubles of my own that you used to care for
Now all I desire is to run so far away from those open and angry
arms I am not your possession

now I once tried to love you dearly compromised my heart
but I paid the price and clearly I have played my part

so cry if you want to but the blood runs cold, cold to the touch and cold to your
bones I shudder from your empty tears now
call me anything you want to justify this situation that's all in your
mind now come on be a man about it so

why tell the truth
when it's easier to put the blame on you I was
bored with no hope but I always hang myself with the same rope

now I dress in sorry silence wearing all my pain
now you think you're caving in WELL violence is my friend

so how can you blame this all upon me I tried but my patience is wearing
thin and as I give you keep on taking
take me off the pedestal that you've created and you'll see that now you
hate me is this the only way?

SO why tell the truth
when it's easier to put the blame on you I was
bored with no hope but I always hang myself with the same rope

so why must you always play the victim it's time that I wasn't your hero
I've got troubles of my own that you used to care for
now all I desire is to run so far away from those open and angry
arms I am not your possession

SO why tell the truth
when it's easier to put the blame on you I was
bored with no hope but I always hang myself with the same rope
