If you're under the impression I'm alright
I guess you never noticed
I guess you might have known
I've been holding this together for so long
But I guess you might have noticed
Well I guess you

The beast within the burden is all mine
A product of his father, a slave to his pride
I feel I need to reveal my true stripes,
But the bitch of all this trouble here
Waits behind the wind to find out

You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word, you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me Yeah

I'm sinking more and more into my lies
Now home is just a pinprick in the vastness of my life
Feel the pressure, feel the pleasure,
Feel the pain, you're not alone
Feel the pleasure, feel the pain,
Feel the pain

You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word, you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me Yeah

You change directions everytime someone judges us

You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word, you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me Yeah

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was
In moderation, what was once us now never was
