lyrics

Life has ways of killing a man.
And I know them all too well.
The world’s greatest escape artist still comes home to himself.
I think my name is cancerous because I make myself so sick,
And I’ve been drowning in my skin, the world made it too thick.
I’m a liar I’m a critic I’m both a man and a hypocrite.
I think my name is cancerous because I make myself so sick.

And it hurts to admit I’m alone now and I brought this on myself.
Every single step I take leads me to somewhere else.
I will take a deep breath until my lungs are hard.
The only thing I want to taste is exhaust straight from your car.

All that I can give is up.
It seems when I’m awake
I’m dreaming of my deathbed so I can get some sleep.
I dismantle everything leave the pieces tossed.
They say the truth is in my hands,
But I keep my fingers crossed.

Next time that I’m all alone and I feel just like you,
I’ll remember that I am and I’m the reason too.
I’m a ghost inside a shell refusing to wake up.
My determination went comatose and stopped.
We are just toys that nobody wants.
