[Intro]

Patterns and patterns, the vows said in vain

The placid, dramatic, the place stays the same

Abandoned by the work of art that left them to degrade

Conscious then not, they can switch on the dime

Caring, uncaring, it’s not like they try

Do you even know how hard I try?

Let’s take a deep breath and try this one more time

[Verse 1]

Fool me once, it’s not so bad

Accidents happen, I’m fine with that

But fool me twice and then I’ll ask

Are you really sure about that?

[Pre-Chorus]

It’s okay to be confused

It’s not the same to pry

Trust the judgement of your kin

You’re toying with a life

[Chorus]

There’s so much to do when you’re all on your own

There’s so little you can do with no control

I’ll give you exactly what you have desired

It’s fame or it’s fortune or something inspired

I’ll cut you a deal that you cannot deny

You will be complicit and you will comply

And even if my plan goes awry

It won’t be the last that my name will be in your sights

[Verse 1]

Something must be wrong with you

No one has ever refused before

But that’s okay, ‘cause you know the truth?

There’s a reason I don’t let you

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell your friends, I’m sure you will

I’d like to see you try

Next time it won’t be just your limbs

You’re toying with your life

[Chorus]

There’s so much to do when you’re all on your own

There’s so little you can do with no control

I’ve given you every chance that I can

You’ve always been someone I just cannot stand

So beg all you want, but I’m set in my ways

I can’t be convinced and I cannot be swayed

Try as you might, at the end of the day

You’ve got bigger problems than just your arms and legs

[Bridge]

Problems piling up inside

Pushing towards my boiling point

Tell myself it will be fine

Don’t you do that too sometimes?

You and I are quite the same

Paralleled in every thing

Torn to pieces, limb from limb

Do you think I give a shit?

[Chorus]

Pleading, begging won’t undo

Things you never thought right through

Did you think the act was real?

Laughable, it truly is

Sure was nice, but now it’s gone

Can’t take back what now is done

Do you think that this is fair?

Does it really matter, dear?

[Outro]

Do you think that this is fair?

Do you think that this is fair?

Do you think that this is fair?

Do you think that I should care?

Do you think that I should care?
