Everyone wants to know the truth
But no one wants to hear it
‘Cause once you get too close
You begin to fear its spirit
As in the way I am with you
What do I know what is true
I did what I did
Did what I did to survive
But no matter how much I pushed back
You ate me alive
You ate me alive
Everyone wants to be a god
At least for an afternoon
Cast all the fools into oblivion
And then return to your gentle cocoon
Dream yourself right up to heavens
Where the unleavened leavens
I must’ve been one tasty bite
You swallowed me whole
And I shot through your fingertips
And I captured your soul
Everyone wants to be on top
But with that comes a great big fall
You start out by kicking down fences
But in the end you build up a wall
Too bad I went let you in
That would prove to be my final sin
