My Life In The Knife Trade |
How many times have I noticed that our eyes hardly ever meet |
From your judgment seat I can feel the anger for my very being |
Fill me in on when you became such a big part of my life |
That I should bother with all your lies designed to bring me down |
Wrong again, don’t depend on any reaction again |
I remember the icy walls that shot up from nowhere |
And I can see every lie you’ve ever told yourself |
You bleed me dry and I don’t ask why, but I’m left with the dust |
Judas kiss, I dismiss, thank you all for this, I am untouched (I am) |
Wait again, not through with the screaming |
I contend that you’ve got nothing better to do |
I’d trade my life for a barrel of gold |
Find someone else before I get too old |
If I live my life for aesthetic gain |
Will you repay me with all your shame |
I can see every light inside your brain |
Go on every time that I walk by for nods and whispers |
Your comfort in my suffering is no longer disturbing |
I’m lost behind your petty stopwatch in life’s real time (life's real) |
Wait again, not through with the screaming |
I contend that you’ve got nothing better to do |
I’d trade my life for a barrel of gold |
Find someone else before I get too old |
If I live my life for aesthetic gain |
Will you repay me with all your shame |
Don’t get up I was only leaving the room |
When the door of your judgment swings back around again |
Maybe I’ll stop to watch your act and I’ll go on my way |
I’ve seen quite enough of too many childish games |
I’m ashamed of every moment |
That I ever gave them the time of day |
All the worst enemies |
Are somehow always friends that used to be |
