Always Fleeing
You have no more control over me, I'm cutting you off
Too many times I've fought for you, too many times I've lost.
You try to take what I say and spin it upside down
I'm making everything about me, but i haven't made a sound.
Your logic is illogical and you're never making sense
Dealing with the games you play is the ultimate expense.
So I'm shuttin' down my ears to you and I'm shuttin down my brain
But I'll write this one last song to you to show you it's not sane.
Is your pinkie feeling lighter? because I've wound myself right off
Now I'm sprinting from this sickness, I'm fleeing from this cough.
At least around here the people know just what you've done
You've earned your reputation and I hope you had your fun.
Discretion's not your forte and your excuses, not the best
But you've got your sick delusions, so screw all of the rest.
Tell me one last time how you wanted things to work
But I've been scarred by all your lies and I refuse to let them hurt.
Lie to me one more time, make a fool out of my love
Go laugh a little more, it's being watched from up above.
No longer will you be there just to make my matters worse
No longer will I entertain this play that you've rehearsed.
A tip from me to you, make your emotions seem more real
I never went to acting school, but that's just how I feel.
Oh, you didn't want my criticisms? May I ask then, why you're here?
Do you stick around to torture me? Or is it strictly out of fear?
Are you afraid to change the life you've tried to take so many times?
And if you hadn't made me part of it I may have spared you from these rhymes.
Do you think I'm not affected? Do you think I haven't changed?
I always feel so far away, always feel so out of range.
So next time you need a scapegoat, someone else to blame
Maybe look at who you're hurting, take a look at all the shame.
Then look at a nice clean mirror and study it for days
'Cause you have to look inside yourself to changed your messed up ways..
