lyrics

Simple mistakes seal up the fate you've made
Keep running from the knowledge--
you know it, don't deny it--
you did this to yourself.

Lost the goals of living life,
missed the point of being alive.
The world collects your fucking debts

Running
from no one,
you'll end up
alone with your thoughts and

you're nothing:
a fable
defining
merciless greed.

But I know this circus won't change the past.
Swagger is all you've ever known,
it's the only thing you do well.
But you know the silver spoon can't feed you here,
won't clear your fucking name.
You dug your grave the day you ran away.

Running
from no one,
you'll end up
alone and dejected.

You're nothing:
A fable.
Defining
ethics of dollars and cents,

and you know you can't fucking let go.

You wrote the book yourself.
This chapter's about you:
the day you played your role;
the day you ruined your own life.

Circus won't change the past.
Swagger is all you've ever known,
it's the only thing you do well.
The silver spoon can't feed you here.
It won't clear your fucking name.
You carved your epitaph the day you ran away.
