Hey

Um, I care about you a lot

Lost in the depths of my disguise

Holding these secrets so close

Toss and turn in this bed of lies

Waiting for time to expose

What will it take to make you a believer?

How do I face myself through this eclipse?

Casting my spells, I become your deceiver

Wishing for death as the words leave my lips

I'll hide away

Faced with myself again

What am I worth?

Now wallow with me

Let my failures seduce you

And if I succeed

It's because I have fooled you

A thousand roses

Cut by a single thorn

My spirit broken

Never to be reborn

I'll hide away

Faced with myself again

What am I worth?

Lies set ablaze

Struggling to pretend

What am I worth?

What am I worth?

Tell me why I'm not worthy

Why I'm not meant to believe

Never show any mercy

Spare me from any reprieve

Now I can see I'm falling away from my soul

And all that's in me

Put your best foot forward, no impression

Writhing in sleep

You're fucking your brain to a pulp, man

All that's in me is all I can see anymore

Lies bend, broken

Stuck in a loop, running from truth, all of my confidence gone

Living a ruse, I am accused, searching for where I belong

Full of regret, dripping with sweat, singing my fraudulent songs

Dead in the nest, cards to my chest, solemnly, I carry on

I'll hide away

Faced with myself again

What am I worth?

Lies set ablaze

Struggling to pretend

What am I worth?

What am I worth?

What am I worth?

What am I worth?
