With a knowing smile I proffer my farewell, yeah
Tainted with the blame and disgrace in the place of the real rogue
Resolute and striding into the storm
Let the rain fall down
And wash me away
Trust me it's better this way
Gotta leave this town, Pariah
Trust me it's better this way
And the mirror may end up my only friend, again
Old crones picking over the bones of the free man
And banishing the faithful failing ghost within my mind
Fall on the bomb. Bring it on. Bring it on.
Let me take the pain and the fear and the stain of betrayal
I said, "burn a little piece of me, the peace of me
To keep a little piece of you alive"
They could never possibly understand
Let the rain fall down
And wash me away
Trust me it's better this way
Gotta leave this town, Pariah
Trust me it's better this way
Trust me
