Simple Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm gonna tell you all something and it's long overdue
You can save the sob story 'cause I already knew
Keep your enemies close, keep your friends at bay
And doesn't listen to a fucking word they say
Don't ever let them tell you who you are
Hits keep coming now it's gone too far
Don't ever let them get in your way
And don't listen to a fucking thing they say
And if you came here to win
Then live or die winning
If you can dig your grave
Then fucking lie in it
You're fucking perfect but let's talk about you
Tell me all the things that you're going to do
You said you were gonna go so far
So tell me why you're still sitting where you are
Knife in your back, there'll be no shame
Just hope that the blood doesn't leave a stain
'Cause I'll never ever be what you are
Just a stupid sycophant fucking ego star
Dig it
And if you came here to win
Then live or die winning
If you can dig your grave
Then fuckin' dive in
Pray for me as you slowly kill yourself
You still don't wanna believe
Lie to me but you can't lie to yourself
It's just a simple truth
And if you came here to win
Then live or die winning
If you can dig your grave
Then fucking lie in it
And if you came here to win
Then live or die winning
If you can dig your grave
Then fuckin' dive in
