[Intro]

You can say what you want

I'm anything but your monster

No one is listening when you speak

You can say what you want

You can say what you want

No one is listening when you speak

[Verse 1]

I've been waiting for a chance to speak my mind

To repay the pain I've felt in kind

Because you seemed to take pride

In slowly twisting the knife

I'm sick of these surroundings

How could you create wrong from right?

How could you act like you never told a lie?

You made this eye for an eye

And now I'm losing sight

This feels like never ending

[Chorus]

Is this penance for your sins?

Was I a fool to let you in?

You instigate and you never even flinched

I capitulate but you can't erase me

Oh, what a twisted web you spin

[Verse 2]

I've been wondering when they all might see

I'm not who you've made me out to be

From gentle seeds grow gentle beasts

It was always you, the worst part of me

How will you justify your greed?

You would have taken more than you could ever need

Between the lies that you weave

And all the secrets you keep

You'll never see me bleed

You'll never see me bleed

[Pre-Chorus]

I know you want to see me swing

But would you stand and watch for the hanging?

[Chorus]

Is this penance for your sins?

Was I a fool to let you in?

You instigate and you never even flinched

I capitulate but you can't erase me

Oh, what a twisted web you spin

[Bridge]

Is this where the story ends?

[?]

Is this where the story ends?

Is this penance for your sins?

Was I a fool to let you in?

I hope you choke on the [?]

And when the ice breaks beneath your feet

You collapse and fall in underneath

[Chorus]

Is this penance for your sins?

Was I a fool to let you in?

You instigate and you never even flinched

I capitulate but you can't erase me

Oh, what a twisted web you spin

[Outro]

You can say what you want

You can say what you want

No one is listening when you speak

You can say what you want

You can say what you want

I'm anything but your monster
