Patterns and patterns, the vows said in vain The placid, dramatic The place stays the same Abandoned by the work of art That left them to degrade Conscious then not, they can switch on the dime Caring, uncaring, it's not like they try! Do you even know how hard I try? Let's take a deep breath and try this one more time Fool me once, it's not so bad Accidents happen, I'm fine with that, but Fool me twice, and then I'll ask Are you really sure about that? It's okay to be confused! It's not the same to pry Trust the judgment of your kin You're toying with a life There's so much to do when you're all on your own! There's so little you can do with no control! I'll give you exactly what you have desired It's fame or it's fortune or something inspired I'll cut you a deal that you cannot deny! You will be complicit and you will comply And even if my plan goes awry It won't be the last that my name will be in your sights Something must be wrong with you No one has ever refused before But that's okay, 'cause you know the truth? There's a reason I don't let you Tell your friends! I'm sure you will I'd like to see you try Next time it won't be just your limbs You're toying with your life There's so much to do when you're all on your own! There's so little you can do with no control! I've given you every chance that I can You've always been someone I just cannot stand So beg all you want, but I'm set in my ways! I can't be convinced and I cannot be swayed Try as you might, at the end of the day You've got bigger problems than just your arms and legs Problems pilling up inside Pushing t'wards my boiling point Tell myself it will be fine Don't you do that too, sometimes? You and I are quite the same Paralled in everything Torn to pieces, limb from limb Do you think I Give a shit? Pleading, begging Won't undo Things you never thought right through Did you think the act was real? Laughable, it truly is Sure was nice, but now it's gone Can't take back what now is done Do you think that this is fair? Does it really matter, dear?? Do you think that this is fair? Do you think that this is fair? Do you think that this is fair? Do you think That I should care?? Do you think that I should care?
