[Intro] [Verse 1] I looked into the looking glass and saw the enemy look back I picked apart the effigy and watched it slowly fade to black What is my mind? I think I need another dose. Lately I find I'm always feeling comatose. It's a simple damn equation, I give in to the sensation And I feel the complication, but it's drowning out elation Who should I be? I think I somehow lost the plot. What should they see? I think I'm dressing up the rot. [Verse 2] The tension deep inside becomes a mark I cannot hide I could just say I tried, although I know it's all a lie I'm not the template that I come from, just the shattered mess it made I'm just a product of the way they play this twisted sick charade I'm blurring out my edges so they won't see all the scars I'm burning all my bridges while I'm reaching for the stars What was my name? It tastes like acid on my tongue. What wins the game? I know my praises won't be sung. [Pre-Chorus] And I say it one more time... Two... Three... Four... But it's always on my mind... To... Be... More... [Verse 3] Sick of the way they act like they know all of who I am Sick of the way they block out burns they left me in the scam But nobody listens, so I'll have some poison on the rocks Emotional fission makes the chain reaction go full stop The holes in my vision perforate the faces at the top The phobic incision complicates the way they got the drop Build me up to cut me down, help me wrap the chains around, I can't seem to come unbound, screaming but it makes no sound. [Pre-Chorus] And I say it one more time... Two... Three... Four... But it's always on my mind... To... Be... More... [Chorus] Like myself, but I can't help How they all say I've lost my way I fight myself, but I can't tell If I'm too grey, or just insane So bite the bullet one more time Expression is the perfect crime The fight goes on between the lines Ambition choked out by design [Breakdown] [Verse 4] The curtain call begins and I know I must play my part But I knew I'd never make it to the ending from the start It's like they thrive on all the bleeding of my weary heart The fates contrived by all the greedy hands pull me apart So look into my eyes... despise... and you will realize... I'm cracking up inside... and I... can feel the pressure rise... I'm a head case, Run the Rat Race Wear a new face, forget my place [Verse 5] Ohhh, I'm losing out on sanity, forget the inhumanity I'm choking on the vanity, and thriving on profanity So make me pretty, make me real, Just make me anything at all as long as it's not how I feel Just make me sorry, make me cold I won't be better than the fall if all the pretense gets too old [Pre-Chorus] And I say it one more time... Two... Three... Four... But it's always on my mind... To... Be... More... [Chorus] Like myself, but I can't help How they all say I've lost my way I fight myself, but I can't tell If I'm too grey, or just insane So bite the bullet one more time Expression is the perfect crime The fight goes on between the lines Ambition choked out by design [Verse 4] The curtain call begins and I know I must play my part But I knew I'd never make it to the ending from the start It's like they thrive on all the bleeding of my weary heart The fates contrived by all the greedy hands pull me apart So look into my eyes... despise... and you will realize... I'm cracking up inside... and I... can feel the pressure rise... I'm a head case, Run the Rat Race Wear a new face, forget my place So bite the bullet one more time Expression is the perfect crime The fight goes on between the lines Ambition choked out by design [Pre-Chorus] And I say it one more time... Two... Three... Four... But it's always on my mind... To... Be... More... [Chorus] Like myself, but I can't help How they all say I've lost my way I fight myself, but I can't tell If I'm too grey, or just insane So bite the bullet one more time Expression is the perfect crime The fight goes on between the lines Ambition choked out by design [Outro] [END]
