Equal Vision Records - Ouroboros lyrics

I bet you thought that you'd succeed Pulling the wool right over me Hard to believe this snake stayed in the gra** just long enough to catch your Rabbit's feet With telescoping glances Hands romanced enticing you to keep Laboring against the clock in spite of secrecy You couldn't know revealed itself To me the second you decided to compete [Chorus] I fell down then I fell apart "I never wanted to hurt no one. I never wanted to be your city's son" I cried out to his crooked heart "I Never wanted to hurt no one. No one but you" I bet you thought that you could breathe A satisfied sigh of relief A terrible thing, forgetting where you came from Or have you trouble when you fall asleep I've seen you fabricate, manipulate and here, you masquerade But if we're poaching ghosts, you know I've got a few that I would raise Settle yourself As long as I'm protected You can bet your secret's safe with me [Chorus] I Fell down then I fell apart "I never wanted to hurt no one I never wanted to be your City's son" I cried out to his crooked heart "I never wanted to hurt no one. No one but You" Lost my soul In the place of the great deceiver Foolish hearts led foolish plans Awry They told me don't veer far from your home Try never to leave her Near I Landed; here I'll live and die Travelled too far from the river's side It wasn't long before I felt nothing below me And all of the ground I thought I'd gained Taken away Thought I was strong; not strong enough; My mettle was bending Foolish plans kissed Foolish hearts goodbye Travelled too far from the river's side
