Lyrics
Skeptic
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.
Only when the fates, commiserate
Do we get a little taste as unique
The libertine, know what I mean?
Hiroshima on a Sunday
You had a gift, you were a gift
But there’s always a goddamn catch
Blessing and a curse, you made it work
The universe seems so much smaller
Legend, bastards, best friend, why?
Why do the limits have to realign?
Hero, martyr, mystery, God
He was the best of us
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you
Never be the same, I want the blame
To be assigned to the guiltiest one
It can't be done, because the son
Was the victim they arrested
I'm so fucking pissed at all of this
You gotta know that you are sorely missed
Miracles are real, they help you he
They make you feel like things will get better
Father, brother, scapegoat, why?
Why did we only get this time?
Fighter, icon, skeptic, God
Stop taking the best of us
I won't let you disappear
I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you here
History may have its share
Of lunatics and stars
But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you
Skeptic, skeptic, skeptic, skeptic, skeptic, skeptic
Where am I supposed to begin?
I'm killing for the karma again
Feed the meter in the machine
Believing it’s the way to be seen
Gone, are we alone?
Gone, are we alone?
Gone, are we alone?
Gone, we're not alone
I can't let you disappear
I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you here
We were meant to be kings
Rule the masses, run the risk
And keep our systems clean
History may have its share
Of lunatics and stars
But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you
The world will never see (will never see)
Another crazy motherfucker like you (like you)
Like you (like you)
Like you
