Where's my saving grace, it seems I've sold my soul for parts
Am I just too late, or am I still just holding all the cards
Well there's some mistakes, 'cause you possess a greedy soul
There's been no escape, I'm taken down by your control

I'm the one you knew it all along you were
Beneath the shadows where you never had to matter well
Now it's done this nightmare's dead and gone
I will just cut the ties that held me
You will see I don't need anyone

You really played your part, you really made us all believe
It was from the heart, and we all fell for your disease
Right from the start, you always knew just how to bleed
You made an art of pulling all my crooked teeth

I'm the one you knew it all along you were
Beneath the shadows where you never had to matter well
Now it's done this nightmare's dead and gone
I will just cut the ties that held me
You will see I don't need anyone

There's no way you can hide, no way to survive
Time eats you alive and leaves you empty inside
There's no way to survive, time eats you alive
And now I've made up my mind

I'm the one you knew it all along you were
Beneath the shadows where you never had to matter well
Now it's done this nightmare's dead and gone
I will just cut the ties that held me
You will see I don't need anyone
