Lyrics
I never thought that I'd sell out.
I never thought that they'd buy in.
I fought the devil with his handcuffs on,
Then I just let that bastard win.
I've got countless excuses.
I can explain it away.
But when you boil it down,
I must want it this way.
I deal in gazes made of glass.
I traffic smiles made of stone.
I've built this hollow empire to the sky,
And now I live here all alone.
I can justify everything.
I can excuse it away.
But when you boil it down,
I must want it this way.
I know exactly what happened.
I know just what went wrong.
I know you're right here beside me
And you've been there all along.
If I just opened my eyes...
If I just unchained my hands...
If I just hoisted this anchor...
If I just abandoned this plan...
I can frame this in context.
I can absolve any blame.
But when you boil it down,
I must want it this way.
