Terrible Slave
If I could be honest
Your promises never meant much in my design
You've got your vocation
But I've got my mission
I've got my own vision
In my own mind
Did you really believe I would fall for your ploy
To be traded around like I'm somebody's toy?
And I'm wary of your lies
The shameless ambition behind your eyes
I've seen before
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
Didn't you notice that I'm a man on a mission?
If I could be honest
I never did promise to offer you my heart
You never believed in me
You simply needed me to be a stand-in
To play my part
Didn't I play the part I was destined to play?
Didn't you lose a game that was lost either way?
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
Didn't you notice that I'm a man on a mission?
Waiting
Hoping
Grasping
Groping
Probing places
Questions deep in my mind
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
Is it beyond you to comprehend?
Are you unable to understand?
Haven't you recognized I'm a man on a mission?
Your promises never meant much in my design
You've got your vocation
But I've got my mission
I've got my own vision
In my own mind
Did you really believe I would fall for your ploy
To be traded around like I'm somebody's toy?
And I'm wary of your lies
The shameless ambition behind your eyes
I've seen before
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
Didn't you notice that I'm a man on a mission?
If I could be honest
I never did promise to offer you my heart
You never believed in me
You simply needed me to be a stand-in
To play my part
Didn't I play the part I was destined to play?
Didn't you lose a game that was lost either way?
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
Didn't you notice that I'm a man on a mission?
Waiting
Hoping
Grasping
Groping
Probing places
Questions deep in my mind
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
The dream beyond
The world behind
The life you lead
It could never be mine
I don't fit in
I won't behave
I must admit
I'm a terrible slave
Is it beyond you to comprehend?
Are you unable to understand?
Haven't you recognized I'm a man on a mission?
