lyrics

Tortured hearts drowned in puddles of reflection 
Here in the maze of mis-direction
 No One Knows 
Look at me believing the lies 
I thought that my love was true
 Turns out I never knew me 
So what does that say about you?  

Chart a course for a destination 
The ship sank before it even set sail 
One of 9 lives spent drowning with you 
Its not the greatest story ever told
 Whatever love is, I’m sure we don’t fit the mold 
Too much baggage weighing these hearts down
 Look at me believing the lies
 I thought that my love was true
 Another case of vacancy masquerading to amuse
  Do you ever stop to think of the lens you’re filming from? 
Maybe that’s no camera buts its really the barrel of a gun  
What can I squeeze from this new reflection? 
Can this pony pave my way? 
She’s no performer but she sure can write 
One hell of a play 
The run around with the big “L” word 
It knows many guises  Or so I’ve heard
 10 clever ways to justify a crime 
Look at me misreading the lines 
I thought that my love was true 
Another case of vacancy masquerading to amuse  

Do you ever stop to think of the lens you’re filming from?
 Maybe that’s no camera but it’s really the barrel of a gun  
What will you do when you’ve got nothing left to prove 
And you realize empty calories 
Are all that you can ever consume 
Look at me believing the lies 
I thought that my love was  
Turns out I never knew me 
So what does that say about you?
