Now there is no desire
Now you are the one who is lost
Now I am setting the fire
You don't have the option to cross
It takes you beyond the reach
Of lengths that you're willing to go
That's the price of living beliefs
When you should stand by what you know
We were led to believe the problem was us, but really it's me and the things I've done
I'm unable to see the value of us diluted to me as the only one
You recieved the deceit as filtered by lust. That was not good enough
Now was it?
You can preach to the choir
You can't abstain from the loss
We were beleaguered by liars
I count myself among their flock
(It weighs on me)
It takes me beyond the reach
Of lengths that I'm ready to go
That's because I chased my beliefs
Without respecting what I know
As you drag my name through the mud you take what you don't
Know for granted, and, where implanted, those lies are rotten
Quick suspicion deepens the cut it's not what you deserve
But what you demanded. This won't be forgotten
Yes, I tried my best and gave up. Well so what? That was never gonna be good enough
Discretion. Deception. Distraction. Deletion of me
I, the suspicious pariah
I could not chew what I'd bit off
I inspired pain that won't tire
Now we have succumb to the assault
(I'm so sorry)
I took us beyond the reach
Of lengths we are willing to go
That's the price of living beliefs
Blinded by what we don't know
We were led to believe the problem was us, but really it's me and the things I've done
I'm unable to see the value of us diluted to me as the only one
You accepted deceit as filtered by lust. That was not good enough for you
