He's been preparing all his futile life
Never took directions sold by anyone
He was a delegate
He would be seen
Never found a part of the house that we made
Everything inside was a flat display
Just the exterior
We needed to bleed a little more

You finally made yourself obsessed
(surrounded by your lies)
Let all the pressure dance around your neck
(this blinding light)
You empty out yourself instead
(surrounded by your lies)
Don't think we're ever meant to understand

(You finally made yourself obsessed)

All my forces fed through the highest edge
Just like an aerial
All compulsions there
Slipped right through your hands
Just as it's meant to be
Making a liar out of me

They finally laid your soul to rest
(surrounded by your lies)
With all the voices you hear in your head
(this blinding light)
It wasn't meant to be unfair
(surrounded by your lies)
Don't think we're ever meant to understand

It's like I wasn't even there
It's like I wasn't even there
Take the flower from your hair
The bets that you are true
It's impolite to stare
It's like I wasn't even there
It's like I wasn't even there
Lost the shimmer in your eye
The rest is hard to see
All that you had shared
It's like I wasn't even there
It's like I wasn't even there
And although you lost your soul
The weight that you must hold
Was more than you can bear
It's like I wasn't even there
