Lyrics
There was a time when everything you said was just a rhyme,
A baited hook to get you friends and ease your jealous mind.
I was aware.
There's nothing there.
The days you spent wondering where everyone had gone
Are not unlike the vacant words of some unfinished song.
When will it end?
When will it end?
Chorus...
A deal is a deal
I know I have no choice.
Still I'd like to talk to you, but I have no voice.
I would shake your hand, but my hands are tied.
Tell me what you really want from me?
You speak in words of timeless rhymes
Of things that don't exist.
As if you had discovered something
Everyone had missed.
You don't fool me.
You don't fool me.
You sit and you sing your sad songs to the wall.
While the pedestal beneath you begins to crumble and to fall.
When will you learn?
When will you learn?
Chorus...
