If i told you nothing's ever good enough for me Would you play judge or jury? If i said that i was happily unhappy Would you even believe me? I'm just a cynic and i know it I'm just a liar disguised as a poet Don't let me drag you down I'll run your dreams into the ground Tear down the things that scare me Keep my expectations low to prepare me For what i know will eventually come Drawing maps inside my head so i know where to run I'm just a cynic and i know it I'm just a liar disguised as a poet Don't let me drag you down I'll run your dreams into the ground I hide the truth in a mountain of lies I walk alone in a forest of eyes They see right through me You'd have to bend me to break me You'd have to unmake me to make me Do it again, and i probably would Stick a knife through these scars Open up old wounds just to see what's inside See what i'm made of I could write a line to right a wrong And i could write a song so they could sing along But this path i walk is mine alone "heavy lies the crown"
