I don’t care what you heard I’m a man of his wordAnd I swallow my pride to satisfy this tape wormI write it all over my pretty face we all make mistakesBut I’ll never wash it off to save face, I wipe my handsYou run your fingers through my persona and like to kick mudI’m through smoothing things over, can’t say I didn’t tryNot surprised you stand me downI let the chips fall I’m gone once they hit the groundConsider it what I owe you, thinking you only know the halfYou only know what I told you, cause I showed you that maskIt’s funny watching people change, who were once friendsThey seem to forget all the shit that you did for themWe’re talking nickels and dimes so why bother?They’ll never appreciate the worth of a dollarBut you should lift your feet cause you’re shittin’ where you eat and carrying the scentWent from child to marionette, you need someone to pull your stringsThat’s how you get off nowadays cause you picked off your own wingsPretending to run with daredevils and race speed demonsLet’s see when you get lost when the road pitchforksCause the way that you see it, ain’t the way that I see itIt’s the lies that you feed it and why you get so heatedThat’s when I cut these ties up and leave them behindFuck the reasons why, it’s like “why not?”SongtexteCause everybody’s got a side plot, they’re nurturing blind spotsAnd no one gives a fuck what you and I wantWhen nothing’s sacred and nothing’s worth savingIn a world that you told that is yours for the takingAnd it can all be replaced like thatNever would I think something that I love would have a price tagI hope you got what you wanted, and it was worth itCause I know this game, I’ve played it, and how it works is You see my game face? What about my war face?What about this one? I’ve got a million different ones to beat the systemI share my cards, this is where we partWhen I needed you to listen you just try to compare scarsAnd now your cut is deeper, follow your fucking leaderOne foot in front of the other, see ya when I see yaDon’t stop when the curtain drops to half massPractice your jab, you’re still trying to get in the last laughTellin’ a joke I’ve heard a number of timesI want to see your face when I’m there to spoil the punch lineIt’s your world baby, if you want it Aus Songtexte Mania
