[Verse 1]

It's not as you're thinking, or as you've imagined

To live in the shade of beliefs that were fashioned

To leave you in slavery and drain out your soul

But what can I do when there's so many liars

That crawl through your veins like millions of spiders

That seek out their victims and who is the wiser?

Watch out, gotcha, ow!

[Chorus]

Oh, my God, I can't deny this

I've been taught just to kill and fight this

To bury it deeper where nobody can find it

Like nobody wanted to know

[Verse 2]

So give it away like they're not gonna fuck you

How much can you beg them to come back and haunt you?

To broadcast your feelings and cause you to suffer

You're starting to bleed

They don't discover before it's too late

What will you offer in ways of healing?

Oh, I'm so confused

Abused, misused

[Chorus]

Oh, my God, I can't deny this

I've been taught just to kill and fight this

To bury it deeper where nobody can find it

'Cause nobody wanted to know

[Refrain]

Ooh, if it opens your eyes

Well, then it's better than a strong compromise

I was willing to be lost in the shuffle

If only you had let me know

Ooh, if it opens your eyes

Well, then it's better than the last compromise

I was willing to be lost in the shadows

If only you had let me know

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

And they won't give in 'cause they know what they're after

A kick in the face, like it's all that would matter

Oh

[Chorus]

Oh, my God, I can't deny this

I've been taught just to murder and fight this

To bury it deeper where nobody can find it

'Cause nobody wanted to know

[Refrain]

Ooh, if it opens your eyes

Well, then it's better than a good compromise

I was willing to be lost in the shuffle

If only you had let me know

Ooh, well then it's on with the show

Like the tides out on the ocean

The wave's already set in motion

The only one in the game who's lost is you
