[instrumental] [Verse 1] What is your measure of success? A family name, a crown to possess? That doesn’t prove the man you are, It’s just a title, just a scar. Where is the honor in striking the weak? Even vultures rise, but when the plague speaks, They feast with hyenas on the same decay, A banquet of misery served every day. [Pre-Chorus] I’m no better than the rest, I just want to be laid to rest. My instinct tells me not to fight, To keep my eyes low, avoid the light. [Chorus] My world is upside down, Hiding in the shadows I’ve found. Armed with a razor tongue so near, I cut down all who dare come near. [Verse 2] What do you expect from me? My heart’s a barren land, empty sea. A desert of dried emotions remain, Where love is lost, where flowers are slain. Don’t try to plant your hopeful seed, No tears are left, no soul to feed. I’m only silence, I’m only chains, A stray dog wandering crowded lanes. [Chorus] My world is upside down, Hiding in the shadows I’ve found. Armed with a razor tongue so near, I cut down all who dare come near. [Verse 3] Don’t disturb my sleepless watch, My thoughts are twisted, never pure, They’re psychopaths, that’s for sure. [Bridge] What is your measure of success? A fleeting love, a future blessed? I’m not that man, no fate to claim, Just a dog at the feast, with vultures the same. [Final Chorus] My world is upside down, I hide where the lost are found. Armed with a razor tongue so near, I cut down all who break my vigil here. [fade slowly]
