The Thoughtlife - Manipulate Me Lyrics

Instead of taking the blame for what you've done,
You aim to mislead the mind, alter progression of time
As opposed to rendering the truth, you were corrupted

If this were right, we could have peace in our lives,
So we tried to hold close to heart some things best kept in the dark

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate
Well I tried to reason, but this here is madness
They sold their souls for craving more,
But weren't prepared to face the consequences of living in lies

I tried to stop dark thoughts from taking control of your mind, but I was living a lie
I fear failure to feel forever binds you here

If this were right, we could have peace in our lives,
So we tried to hold close to heart some things best kept in the dark

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate
Well I tried to reason, but this here is madness
They sold their souls for craving more,
But weren't prepared to face the consequences of living in lies

If this were right, we could have peace in our lives,
So we pried through the dark for long lost remnants of heart

We pried through the dark, but the remnants, the remnants were lost
Our pride pursued a fantasy, yet everybody knew in our hearts, this stage was false
This world will never be what you want (to be what you want), so be what you want
We are not simply pawns led by cold twisted hearts

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate
Well I tried to reason, when reason was madness
They sold their souls for craving more
You set your sights on something simple
They sold their souls for something simple

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate
Well I tried to reason, but this here is madness
They sold their souls for craving more,
But weren't prepared to face the consequences of living in lies
