The Wretched
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.
You're dead to me.
It might be hard to understand. I'll show the world who you really are. So just step aside.
So let this be the beginning. The time of liars and thieves is descending.
And let this be your warning, the path of the wretched is burning.
I thought I knew you now you can't save your name (We won't follow the deceiver)
Don't try to silence my words with your lies. (We won't follow the deceiver)
What were you searching for when you stabbed me in the back?
What were you lying for when we gave you all you had?
I finally see that you've fallen away from the bond that we had I fear it won't be the same.
I thought I knew you but you threw it away. Now you're dead to me (fuck you)
I thought I knew you now you can't save your name (We won't follow the deceiver)
Don't try to silence my words with your lies. (We won't follow the deceiver)
This is what I expected, another life lesson is what I'm left with. Look at what you've started… A war of words is what we'll part with.
So don't act like you don't know exactly what you really are. The truth will find us both in the end. The difference being that it will show me blameless while it robs you of your breath. Your deceiving is worthy of receiving an end. So don't act like you don't know what you are my friend.
I thought I knew you now you can't save your name (we won't follow the deceiver)
This is what I expected, another life lesson is what I'm left with.
Look at what you've started, a war of words is what we'll part with.
This is what I expected, another life lesson is what I'm left with.
Look at what you've started, a war of words is all we'll part with.
So don't act like you don't know who you are
