Oh did you hear the lie / that ate through this heart of mine?  / It unhinged its terrible jaw / to devour and swallow me whole / well truth is a servant / an electrical current / that gives life but takes just as quickly / and love is a slave you take up like a snake / cause it's just as deceitful and deadly / but oh / if i could gain back control / i played the harp of the fool / and cried the tears of king david / with the high places torn down / and all that was sacred / to me you were lost and i could just barely reach you / but the harder i fought / the more that victory seemed further away / oh did you hear the cry / of the phantom that laid down to die / i thrusted my fist through its side / to retreive what was rightfully mine / well truth is a plague that can wipe out a race / of people who make their own hell / and love is the agent that shields the contagious / from losing and harming themselves / but oh / if i could gain back control
