I want you all to know
The way I feel inside
The emptiness, the nothing that's beneath all of my lies
And now I'm looking through manipulating eyes
I create my own universe just to get by
The price you pay
To gain control
To feel the flames
To lose your soul
And if only everyone would change
And if only you would just see things my way
And if only you would just get with my plan
Things would not get out of hand
And if only...
I lift myself above
This ordinary life
Reality is left out on a limb to rot and die
And now I'm sifting through
The truth that I despise
The me you know is sheltered by the wool over your eyes
The price you pay
To gain control
To feel the flames
To lose your soul
And if only everyone would change
And if only you would just see things my way
And if only you would just get with my plan
Things would not get out of hand
And if only, yeah
The price you pay
To gain control
To feel the flames
To lose your soul
The price you pay
To gain control
To feel the flames
To lose your soul
And if only everyone would change
And if only you would just see things my way
And if only you would just get with my plan
Things would not get out of hand...
And if only everyone would change
And if only you would just see things my way
And if only you would just get with my plan
Things would not get out of hand
If only...
