lyrics

Keeping both feet on the ground is like a nightmare full of clowns.
It leaves you in a state of fear.
When your footprints in the sand always follow me around
you may not like what keeps you near.

And they say that it's you as if they had no right to choose.
Like you took their own free will before you stuck them with the bill.
I'm not your scapegoat sent from Hell. You make decisions for yourself.
Handle you cause I refuse to play your game.

A secret life is what you made. It seems there's not so much to say
when the dark clouds fill your skies.
Keeping track of what was said when no one put a gun to your head.
You were warned and now you're torn between yourself and what's inside.

And they say I was the one as if I'm Lucifer's lost son.
I'm not the blame for your own harm. Just the marks on my own arms
and if you say that you were thrown down that long, dark road you're on
You're all alone. Just know you did it to yourself.
