Have I thanked you for your time?
Will your life go unrewarded again?
Never asking for a dime
You just gave all of yourself
Until I turned my back on you, my friend

The powers that be made you a martyr
Conspiracy led you to slaughter
I tried to control it
But as soon as I showed it
I was shot down again

Once again outnumbered
Appreciation slumbered
You can ask yourself why
But that look in your eye
Doesn't pass the test
You've been laid to rest, my friend, again

Tortured artist bears his soul
Seems that pressure took its toll
Lived a life so punishing
Now he keeps the publishing

Spilling your guts out to a pad and pen
Communication to your silent friend

Raising the knife to a picture of a life
(I once knew)
There comes a time, compromising my life
(Just won't do)

I cannot lie, I can't try anymore
(To reach you)
I just can't fight, raise the knife
Raise the knife, cut through

I remember once you were the quiet type
Content to sit and watch the motions of your life
With false sensitivity
You cut yourself open so people would adore you

They all bought into your contrived sincerity
And how you wore your heart and soul right on your sleeve
Laughing sarcastically, you turned your back
On the people who adored you

Self-absorbed exhaustion
Self-esteem distortion
Self-infused extortion
Self-serving abortion

I'll take the blame for these things that I say
'Cause I had the heart and the will
And the courage to stay
Every day, I won't walk away

Reading through all the digests you show me
I notice the way that you think you control me
Doubting my future, you don't even know me
But I, I never walked out on you

Raising the knife to a picture of a life
(I once knew)
There comes a time, compromising my life
(Just won't do)

I cannot lie, I can't try anymore
(To reach you)
I just can't fight, raise the knife
Raise the knife, cut through

Raising the knife to a picture of a life
(I once knew)
There comes a time, compromising my life
(Just won't do)

I cannot lie, I can't try anymore
(To reach you)
I just can't fight, raise the knife
And live my life without you

Raising the knife to a picture of a life
There comes a time, compromising my life
I cannot lie, I can't try anymore
I just can't fight, raise the knife
Raise the knife, raise the knife
Raise the knife
