Alone she stood, alone I fell, alone I have this story to tell Repeating vows over again and again, inside my head Where the brave go to bend But have I wasted all this time Paying someone else’s dues? Alone I loathed, alone I know That everyone in this world is in it for themselves But have I wasted all this time Paying someone else’s dues? Is this special effects or Am I getting through An altruistic point of view Have I wasted all this time paying someone else’s dues? Is this special effects, am I even getting through to you? Am I getting through? Open your eyes, queen bee, and feed off the emotional debris To maintain your once was sanity Or whatever it takes for your face to be Upon the grand marquee Where everyone can see your transparent vanity Plaguing all once was dear to me I stand on gimmick street, preaching sincerity To anyone out there listening Have I wasted all this time paying someone else’s dues? Am I getting through an altruistic point of view? If what you’ve seen is all that you get Then id be willing to bet that you’ve had your fill If what you’ve seen is all that you get Then I’d be willing to be bet That she’d be glad to forget me
