MASTER RECORDING LYRICS

FONT:
Your mind tells you that you’ve lost your confidence You’re drifting and you don’t believe in anyone To lose what little you have left to be proud of Afraid you can’t do this again, auh! You said that nothing comes in between us And the way of getting things we wanted done Then enissophobia helps you under it’s influence Until you compromise your style Everything about you has been one big charade What will you do now, that the well’s run dry (Cry?) To sell-out all your friends and stab them in the back It’s something that you are, it’s something that I’m not When you forced me into doing what you love Mark my words, no one loves you very much (yeah mark ā€˜em) And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me I, I couldn’t help but end the stay with you hmm Being in the front can only last so long (you should know) To watch you sit, stare as a child returns (you little baby) To choke out the voice that told you money and the fame Would fill the grave that you dug for yourself Unlike you, I’m no vision to myself, lest you forget You didn’t ever make metal, buddy, metal made you To crush and roll over everyone along the way It’s something that you are, it’s something that I’m not A stranger to yourself, ha, you’ve pissed me off again I won’t be driven by your needs anymore What you’ve become to do or be is clear to see for me It’s something that you are, it’s something I’m not It makes me sick to hear you say you love me I know you only love what I can do for you If you were the one that was leading a charge Would you notice if I missed a day or two (But that’s impossible!) We all laughed at the parodies that you’ve become Now you’re paid, slowly payback has begun So I send my resignation or in your words, betrayal Before it gets much worse in your self-sabotage Something I’m not Something that you are Something I’m not Something I’m not Something that you are Ah something I’m not Something that you are Something I’m not, yet
