Master Splinter (Biggest Fckin Rat I Ever Met)

(albüm: The Shadow Thieves - 2016)

Life is a dream for the wise
A game for the fool
A comedy for the rich
And a tragedy for the poor
But if all the world is a stage
Then I'll pretend I'm okay

I'm taking everything I've said
Finding myself in the words
Making sure I've held my end
Recognizing which waters to tread

I was searching for closure for the longest time
Sewing self inflicted wounds since the dawn of time
But I don't want to think about another moment with you
Every time you snuck behind my back baby I knew

It's all just a part of your plan to break me down, down again
Well my knuckles are white
And my hands are red
From holding on to all your broken
Promises
You fooled me once and it's sad to say
But fool me twice and I'm history

I've been searching for closure
I've been wasting precious time
I hoped that time would see you off
Instead you're stuck inside my mind
But I don't want to remember
I only wish you'd understand
So put yourself in my shoes
And try your best just to stand

It makes me happy to know there's no one out there like me
So while your contemplating death I'm sleeping soundly
I'm sleeping soundly
I fought my demons
I faced my fears
It's me against the world
And I'm still here

It's all just a part of your plan to break me down, down again
Well my knuckles are white
And my hands are red
From holding on to all your broken
Promises
You fooled me once and it's sad to say
But fool me twice and I'm history

Well my knuckles are white
And my hands are red
From holding on to all your broken
Promises
You fooled me once and it's sad to say
But fool me twice and I'm history
