One by one, they stand single file
To see the king of the hill atop his worthless pile.
The king has no clothes.
Throw stones.
Watch him implode.
All for one or are we all alone?
Brick by brick, it’s a house built on lies
Because illusion is easy to young adoring eyes.
It’s not hard to see
Through deceit.
Make them believe.
Fight the stampede, be the one to lead.
All my missteps I retrace.
Every failure I’ll erase.
My pride is gone.
I find the strength to carry on.
Looking back, what’s left of me?
Am I the person that I wanna be?
Do I belong?
I find the strength to carry on.
Rung by rung, he’s climbed up to the top
But once the engine is running, it’s hard to make it stop.
Ignore what you’re told.
Eyes closed.
Dig from below.
Don’t care where you’re from,
Just where you go.
Step by step, we’re ignoring the signs.
That cocky bastard is planting the seeds of his demise.
There’s nothing to gain.
Only shame.
We fan the flames.
Fight through the pain, live another day.
Just one more day.
All my missteps I retrace.
Every failure I’ll erase.
My pride is gone.
I find the strength to carry on.
Looking back, what’s left of me?
Am I the person that I wanna be?
Do I belong?
Do I belong?
Writing’s on the wall.
That Cheshire smile says
You don’t have the courage to take the fall.
You’re not fooling anyone.
You’re no one.
All my missteps I retrace.
Every failure I’ll erase.
My pride is gone.
I find the strength to carry on.
Looking back, what’s left of me?
Am I the person that I wanna be?
Do I belong?
Do I belong?
