Like a flash of light in an endless night
Life is trapped between two black entities
'Cause when you trust someone, the illusion has begun
No way to prepare, impending despair
Did one say so cruel: "Tis better to love than lose"
Ignorance is bliss - wish not knew your kiss
So many times been burned, this lesson goes unlearned
Remember desire only fuels the fire - liar
I don't need love
Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
Longing for the past but dreading the future
If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser
World reknowned failure at both death and life
Given nothingness, purgatory blight
To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
Options exhausted, except for anesthesia - anesthesia
I don't feel anything.In my head
i was wastin' away
who got lucky when i couldn't stay
testify my reasons and my worries
i'm runnin' hot but there's nowhere to go
walk that walk hopin' nobody knows
she was rich but i was beautiful (gotta change the world around me)
all the fun we never had
lookin' on back child
all the fun we never had
lookin' on back child
cause i'm in love with the better half of me
looking back on vanity
the wounds i'm feeling have troubled my plan
a longer distance ain't makin' the man
should have tried to learn my lesson well
amplified by the days on my own
recognizin' my blood from my bone
she was rich but i was beautiful (gotta change the world around me)
all the fun we never had
lookin' on back child
all the fun we never had
lookin' on back child
cause i'm in love with the better half of me
looking back on vanity
