I looked deep into your eyes

Saw men lying broken

Shattered at the bottom of your well

You took their simple affection

Turned it into bad infection

Sent them packing straight to hell

I see what sweats you

Reality threatens you

You can't hide yourself from me

When you see the one that sees through you - It's me

Canine men

Fighting, lying, trying to be the one

That gets to feel your touch

I see them lined up like broken heroes

Spitting out pieces of their broken luck

I guess I've got good sense and hindsight

Because to me it never meant that much

When you see the one that laughs at you - It's me

Wasted time spent thinking about you

You know I've come to hate myself

Smashing my hands against the wall

Trying to forget the foolish way I felt

You're so kind when it serves you well

Your cruelty

No more trying

No more lying

No more messing around with my mind

I'm going, I'm gone

Because now I see you

You must think I'm blind

When you need those arms around you

You won't find my arms around you

When you see the one that sees through you

When you see the one that laughs at you - It's me
