Lyrics
A solidly structured someone still suffers in sovereignty
While the ancient one, she laughs on, while observing the absurdity
As he put it all on the line, he got mocked and he got ridiculed
And he proved there’s no capacity in his talent at playing the fool
So we see his heart break in syncopated time
A winding path of obstacles, diverted from his prime
No longer does he reign in high regard
Once dealt that poisoned card another voice to disregard, discard the truth
That foolishly fraught feeling finds fractures within the fix
While treading Hell’s outer circle on to the shores of the River Styx
I’m convinced that you are crazy, but still I rationalize you anyway
And so the futile quest goes on and on and on and on
And on and on and on another day
And so you sing a tired song of souless, witless pride
A bargain validation just to prove you’re on my side
But no longer can you hear a single word that I say
And when you’re no longer going my way
You will have exhausted your last play against the truth
And I can remember everything, oh
Yes, I can remember everything, oh
And you can’t misrepresent anything, no more
‘Cause I was there present for everything, for sure
Yes, I can remember everything about your fitful disgrace
And if you should mention anything, be sure to say it to my face
But all I want is to depart from this bitter race
I just don’t want to play the game no more
No, no, no no no no no no no no
I used to believe that you were special, but truly I was aloof
Wanna try something original? Tell the truth!
