"Vicious Circle" lyrics
You tear my soul apart
By any means with wicked schemes cut deep
The way that you contrive
Makes me wonder how you ever sleep
Still I held out every chance
You'd come back to your senses
But that path was filled with smoke
To prove what you intended
I stand against you as you rage
My fate has struck your gilded cage
I knew you'd bite and hurt us
Vicious Circle
A parody of truth
Is mirrored in the mask you chose to wear
With empathy so numb
You never felt the lives that you despair
Master of hypocrisy
Who dislocates my reason
Through constant lies that you implant
This manifest of treason
Provoked to go to any length
I'll use up every ounce of strength
And break the chain that binds this
Vicious Circle
Still I held out every chance
You'd come back to your senses
But that path was filled with smoke
To prove what you intended
I stand against you as you rage
My fate has struck your gilded cage
I knew you'd bite and hurt us
Vicious Circle
By any means with wicked schemes cut deep
The way that you contrive
Makes me wonder how you ever sleep
Still I held out every chance
You'd come back to your senses
But that path was filled with smoke
To prove what you intended
I stand against you as you rage
My fate has struck your gilded cage
I knew you'd bite and hurt us
Vicious Circle
A parody of truth
Is mirrored in the mask you chose to wear
With empathy so numb
You never felt the lives that you despair
Master of hypocrisy
Who dislocates my reason
Through constant lies that you implant
This manifest of treason
Provoked to go to any length
I'll use up every ounce of strength
And break the chain that binds this
Vicious Circle
Still I held out every chance
You'd come back to your senses
But that path was filled with smoke
To prove what you intended
I stand against you as you rage
My fate has struck your gilded cage
I knew you'd bite and hurt us
Vicious Circle
