lyrics

Am I a demon,
In this world chock-full of men?
Am I a shelter,
For your lies hidden within?
Am I a poet,
Spitting nonsense for your coin?
Am I a jester,
Turning tricks just for your joy?

Cuz I can’t understand this world you clearly own
Seperate my mind from thoughts I once kept whole,
This fog inside my head is growing out of control,
Picking fights and taking bets between my heart
and soul

Am I a villain,
To the safety you hold dear?
Am I a savior,
Here to wash away your fear?
Am I a hermit,
Growing wise in my alone?
Am I a freak,
Beyond your grace down to the bone?

Am I some fodder,
For an axe you have to grind,
Am I the hope,
For a love you’re sure to find,
Am I the anguish,
To a control you must maintain,
Am I a splinter,
Behind the wheel to your insane,

Cuz I can’t understand this world you clearly own
Seperate my mind from thoughts I once kept whole,
This fog inside my head is growing out of control,
Picking fights and taking bets between my heart
and soul

Cuz I can’t understand this world you clearly own
Seperate my mind from thoughts I once kept whole,
This fog inside my head is growing out of control,
Picking fights and taking bets between my heart
and soul
