I've been failing in this failsafe
To claim a life with no false plans
You know that dealing in dishonesty
Can't stain a hero's bloody hands
So now make your heart a villain
If you can't split yourself in two
Nickels and dimes for amateurs
Take this sword and run it through
Always headhunting for a reason
When there's more ways to skin a cat
Preserving wounds to start your bleeding
But what's respectable in that?
If fake thieves don't steal their honour
Then for liars, there's no end
All excuses trapped in cages
Beaten down since God knows when
Rising above it, though never explained
How simple solutions can go up in flames
With stars all exploding, we learnt how to pass the blame
I wish I could keep you locked up in this room
But you'd suffocate fast in your little cocoon
Dense in the head but I'll come around someday soon
Deep in the woods, sounds pierce through the air
Cut down through the frost, every animal stares
We're rabbits to bloodhounds, still trailing a scent
Brought up from these Burroughs, flushed out to repent
It's not something I regret
I know exactly what I meant
It's not something I regret
I know exactly what's ahead
Pale as the moonlight, these years to confess
Bunkers for demons maintained in unrest
Wiping them clean when the past can make such a mess
Where you find smoke, a new dragon breathes fire
Feeding it oxygen, the flames will burn higher
Wandering lost but I know how to spot a liar
