The very effort is senseless, selfish
You pull a string and the whole thing falls apart
To coalesce this f*cking mess
Into a superego killing-machine
You'll play again from beginning to end
Even when you know what's in between
But you had to have it your own way
You just wanted to be so great
Even after you left me wanting
I confess that I do not blame your fear
In hindsight, it seems to funny
This storm was a long time coming
We're broke again, but unwilling to bend
To the suicidal urges in the hearts of men
But you had to have it your own way
You just wanted to be so great
You had to have it your own way
You, who wanted to be so good
You're blind to the business-end of your own blame
No mind to the challenges to change your tone
A sign of the times that you've taken your place
No compromise greater than one you made to save your own face
You who had tempted me to stay
You'll be the first to attempt your escape
