lyrics

From the first word you were there
Though you didn’t care/ a doomed love affair
Now there's a bitter taste to all the time I’d waste
Misplaced emotion without logical base

You were beautiful, you had talent
Looks, personality you were balanced
Trapped in wonderland like Alice

Trapped in the Nausea, the Euphoria
Victorious in my campaign?/
Notice the pain as I failed
white whale

You were still fishing with me on the hook,
watching me squirm at the love I mistook
you shredded me up ready for the slaughter,
‘Minutes wouldn’t past without a thought of her’

Opened up and you preyed
Feelings, thoughts, watching the raid
Neglected, disrespected.
Made me believe I was defective.
Young and näive
Easy to deceive,
Now I have perspective

Mind kept thinking you were right
All thoughts went to you at night
Though something I could never see
That you were plotting out of sight

Mind kept thinking you were right
All thoughts went to you at night
Though something I could never see
That you were plotting out of sight

It's hard to fly with these chains
Try to move but you hold the reins

Bird wants to soar but my reality
I’m caged I’ll never be free

Like Icarus but burnt before leaving ground
I want to scream but can’t make a sound

This bird wants to soar but my reality
I’m caged I’ll never be free

’Your hair looks nice’
Thanks for the compliment, remember mine you took without acknowledgment
Taking the praise, sucking my soul, while I was just trying to feel whole.

I would idolise you
Pull you up when you were down
But you just left me like lost and found
Pounding on the doors of this cage
Frustration never rage
The world's a stage and I was a tree
In your company my mind wasn’t free
So when I see you and talk like amnesia
Like time has been anaesthesia
I try not to repeat Hiroshima

My scars took time to heal
Now you think you can tell me how you feel?
Then walk away content, get bent
I tried to augment a friendship
But you never paid attention


Mind kept thinking you were right
All thoughts went to you at night
Though something I could never see
That you were plotting out of sight

Mind kept thinking you were right
All thoughts went to you at night
Though something I could never see
That you were plotting out of sight



It's hard to fly with these chains
Try to move but you hold the reins

Bird wants to soar but my reality
I’m caged I’ll never be free

Like Icarus but burnt before leaving ground
I want to scream but can’t make a sound

This bird wants to soar but my reality
I’m caged I’ll never be free


I’m not mad it was unrequited that I was misguided
No, you’re indicted because you delighted in my pain

Drives me insane that when I see you, I never shout, glare, still care.

But you are cold, fool's gold everyone behold the wicked witch of the east, watch her feast.

I pity you and everyone who smiles your way, all I can do it stay far far away
