it starts with one...      and multiplies 'til you can taste the sun   and burnt by the sky you try to take it from   but if it falls there's no place to run   crumbling down   it's so unreal   they're dealing you in to determine your end   and sending you back again to places you've been   and bending your will 'til it breaks you within   and still they fill their eyes   with the twilight through the skylight    and the highlights on a frame of steel   see the brightness of your likeness as i write this   on a pad with the way i feel   head is screaming   am i dreaming?   as it's seeming that you played your part   like you're heartless, take apart this, in the darkness, but i know that      i've tried so hard   and got so far   but in the end, it doesn't even matter   i had to fall   to lose it all   but in the end, it doesn't even matter      i know what's down the line   and what's there is not what ought to be   held back by the battles they fought for me   callin' me to be part of their property   and now i see that i get no chance   i get no break   fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes   and as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin   i can only hope that they close their eyes   to the twilight through the skylight   and the highlights on a frame of steel   see the brightness of your likeness as i write this   on a pad to the way i feel   head is screaming   am i dreaming?   as it's seeming that you played your part   like you're heartless, take apart this, in the darkness, but i know      i've tried so hard   and got so far   but in the end, it doesn't even matter   i had to fall   to lose it all   but in the end, it doesn't even matter      i've put my trust in you   pushed as far as i can go   for all this   there's only one thing you should know    i've put my trust in you   pushed as far as i can go   for all this   there's only one thing you should know   i've put my trust in you   pushed as far as i can go   for all this   there's only one thing you should know      i've tried so hard   and got so far   but in the end, it doesn't even matter   i had to fall   to lose it all   but in the end, it doesn't even matter
