Crown of Greed
This one's for every time I tried to fight complacency
Meanwhile, you fight to drain the life from me
But I still push through
And it took some time, but I've realized
The first page inside your book of lies
Is all about how
You lit me up and burned me down, every time
You've always been about yourself
You never gave a damn for no one else
And I've come to see right through the mask you wear
And I tell myself it's easier this way
And I'm better on my own
Remember all the times you told me that the world was ours?
Well I look back now and I see I was alone from the start
So pack your bags, say you're gone forever, never to return
Cause deep down, I always knew that you would never learn
You lit me up and burned me down, every time
You've always been about yourself
You never gave a damn for no one else
And I've come to see right through the mask you wear
And I tell myself it's easier this way
And I'm better on my own
On the list of lies you'll tell yourself just to get by
I know you'll swear you'll change
I know, I know you'll never change
Cause you're a selfish, broken soul
And you'll live your life alone
All the countless times I tried to deny
I should have known
I should have known
You're a selfish broken soul, I should have known
And now you'll live your life alone
Cause you burned me down, every time
You've always been about yourself
You never gave a damn for no one else
And I've come to see right through the mask you wear
And I tell myself it's easier this way
And I'm better on my own
You're a selfish, broken soul
And you'll live your life alone
All the countless times I tried to deny
I should have known
Meanwhile, you fight to drain the life from me
But I still push through
And it took some time, but I've realized
The first page inside your book of lies
Is all about how
You lit me up and burned me down, every time
You've always been about yourself
You never gave a damn for no one else
And I've come to see right through the mask you wear
And I tell myself it's easier this way
And I'm better on my own
Remember all the times you told me that the world was ours?
Well I look back now and I see I was alone from the start
So pack your bags, say you're gone forever, never to return
Cause deep down, I always knew that you would never learn
You lit me up and burned me down, every time
You've always been about yourself
You never gave a damn for no one else
And I've come to see right through the mask you wear
And I tell myself it's easier this way
And I'm better on my own
On the list of lies you'll tell yourself just to get by
I know you'll swear you'll change
I know, I know you'll never change
Cause you're a selfish, broken soul
And you'll live your life alone
All the countless times I tried to deny
I should have known
I should have known
You're a selfish broken soul, I should have known
And now you'll live your life alone
Cause you burned me down, every time
You've always been about yourself
You never gave a damn for no one else
And I've come to see right through the mask you wear
And I tell myself it's easier this way
And I'm better on my own
You're a selfish, broken soul
And you'll live your life alone
All the countless times I tried to deny
I should have known
