"Faded Memories" lyrics

Time for you to take a trip
A bitter truth you must admit
Started with a slippin', lippin'
Ending in a sinking ship
Easy to be tight and you
[?] you want to fit
Thought you could make us quit
But I don't really give a shit

You said you always shared this dream
Deception was reality
Said you were a friend to me
But you will be the death of me
See what you wanna see
And be who you wanna be
And please don't say the truth to me
This is my only memory

You thought you were the king
The power's everything
Your self-appointed crown
Is now weighing you down
Your poor judgment is skewed
I'm done with this feud
I'll bring this world
Right down on top of you

You got us through this world I know
And need all the sexy things you own
Turns out just an average Joe
The media was just a show
Things you said would never go
And left us all at dead and broke
Best of friends, the worst of foes
You live and learn the same
So will the last hour set you free?
You're down again, it's hard to breathe
Bite that hand that tries to feed
Don't come crawling back to me
So see what you wanna see
And be who you wanna be
Let's toast to the casualties
Left alone in memories

Your self-righteous abuse
Your false pretense confused
I've got a real mean streak
You are worthless and weak
Concerned with your own gain
You sought out to defame
Your head's underwater
And I'm holding you down

It was never a surprise
Back's turned when you heard a cry
Your help was just a hoax
Lies that caused you to choke
I thought I needed you
But now I see the truth
And it has set me free
You're fucking dead to me!

You thought you were the king
The power's everything
Your self-appointed crown
Is now weighing you down
Your poor judgment is skewed
I'm done with this feud
I'll bring this world
Right down on top of you

Your self-righteous abuse
Your false pretense confused
I've got a real mean streak
You are worthless and weak
Concerned with your own gain
You sought out to defame
Your head's underwater
And I'm holding you down
