It starts with one
 then multiplies ‘til you can taste the sun
 And burned by the sky you try to take it from
 But if it falls, there’s no place [bad word] 
 [bad word] 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
 Hear the screaming in my dreaming
 As it’s seeming that you've 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’ve looked down the line
 And what’s there is not what ought to be
 Held back by the battles they fought for me
 Calling 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 twighlight 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
 Hear the screaming in my dreaming
 As it’s seeming that you've 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 put my [bad word] in you
 Pushed as far as I can go
 For all this
 There’s only one thing you should know

 I've put my [bad word] 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
