[Verse] You've got this moment as you lay down your head I'm taking this chance to speak as you go to bed You know who I am for it is me that you blame No one's ever seen me but there it is all the same [Verse] It seems that every bad thing that's been done or said All began with me as a little voice in someone's head Little, you cry, more like insidious is the truth Whatever you like to call it just don't be uncouth [Verse] I’ve been known to cause empires to crash and fall Take apart families, I'm responsible for it all It's been said my arena is broken promises and dark lies I'm the king of excuses, back stabbing, affairs and alibis [Drop] [Bridge] Apparently all I want is to create chaos and endless doom Heres a thing to consider, we've never been seen in the same room [Verse] With the power that it's said I am supposed to weild You’d think I’d choose to operate on a different field But apparently I take on tasks none too large or small Just give me a chance to spread the pain I’ll do it all [Verse] They blame me for all sorts of unbelievable sordid acts The breaking of those ten simple rules distorting all the facts My voice alone apparently has the power to overcome The most steadfast of men and the bastards they become [Interlude] [Drop] Beat Only] [Bridge] The whispers of jealousy, of envy and of spite The urge of hypocrisy, of mad lust, and of pride The cause to be so lazy, to give up, and want more And tobreak all the rules, to ruin, change the score You yourself have said that I'm behind your woes That I made you do it that's how the story goes [Verse] From me no one is spared from my relentless attack Done in the dark, inside your head, behind your exposed back The things I make you do seem really to have no end Such is my insistent voice that is always there in your head [Verse] If all these things were true then I do fit the bill Of the supposed fallacy inherent in saying you have no will Could it be I'm not real but a scapegoat to hide your shame It's so much easier for you that I shoulder all the blame [Drop] [Chorus] The simple way to beat me is to thine own self be true By treating others the same way you want them to treat you Its been said of me that it's all in my many voices, So what if it wasn't? Why can't. you own . your own. choices?
