If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?  Though I'm closer to wrong  I'm no further from right  And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me  Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me, yeah  No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie  But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised  And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give  Deprived of my conscience  This all belongs to me, yeah    I'm beaten down again, I belong to them  Beaten down again, I've failed you  I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them  Beaten down again, I've failed you    The deception you show is your own parasite  Just a word of advice you can heed if you like  And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me  Convincd on the inside you're so much more than me, yeah  I'm beaten down
