lyrics

My God, What have i become?
A perfect mockery of the stories that you spun,
Piecing together these childhood memories,
I see now we were just playing make-believe,
Everything you ever wanted me to be,
I’’m burdened by the path you forced me to lead,
All i ever wanted was to just be me
This fairytale life just is not for me

Torn in two
I’ve misconstrued,
The meaning of what it means
To “just be you”

I’ve become filled with disillusionment
It weighs me down, like some kind of cement
These cryptic words will be my last lament
I love you, but you never understood what i meant
It was in me,
that you placed your dreams,
Of fixing your own shattered self esteem,
I won’t believe,
this is the reality of the fairytale portrait that you painted me

This is a parable, and i am the prince,
I’ve been running from my knights and living on my sins,
All i ever wanted was a life away from life,
I just need a purpose towards which i could strive


Can i ever dissever some god damn solace from this cold, cruel world that has left me hopeless,
When we’re born, we’re all told we’re so god damn special,
Now i know we all suffer,
Same hell, different levels,
I chose to stray
