A Bullet For Pretty Boy - De(v)tails lyrics

This is a nightmare And we're the ones to blame We're the ones who need to Make things change Lead by example You've heard it too many times before Well what's stopping it from Sinking in I followed man's footsteps And now look where I'm at Stuck in a chamber of sadness and regret Even I didn't know what to expect What would happen How things change Everywhere I look Something is blurred Influenced turned to impurity Happiness turned to perversion And only God knows how long this will last I've changed and contorted My identity The secrets I hold are finding the light Slowly dragging me down It's like I'm standing in a pit of quicksand What's been twisted Can't be perfectly straight again By God, I'll do my best So I'm taking what's on the inside And throwing it all away Hoping for some comfort This is a nightmare Make things change Lead by example You've heard it too many times before Well what's stopping it from Sinking in? I want to be the light in the dark Not the weight that pulls you down
