The Winter's Tale

Set Things Right


Keeping my hopes down, no reason to pray
It’s safe to say you’ve been led astray
Too far-gone, too far to turn back
I cannot change the way you are

You’re the star of the dullest play
Of the worst Shakespeare on earth
Lights on
We bow in rows and smile away
And when the crowd has left you’ll change
Erase the smile from your empty face
So how can you judge me and say you mistrust me
When your own disguise ain’t reality?
Lights on
I cannot change the way you are

Cheers
Raise the glass high, dive right in
I’ll drink to all times you misguided me
I am so done with saving you from yourself

Do you remember a life without tears of misery?
A greater time, less tragedy?
You live with an urge to destroy
The habit of ruining everything
You turn gold into stone
Assuring all tales end up tragically

I cannot change the way you are

I cared enough to be there
While you never cared at all
Attempts gone bad, all torn to shreds
So ungrateful for the feeding hand

A life without tears of misery
A greater time, less tragedy
You never cared at all

Keeping my hopes down, no reason to pray
It’s safe to say you’ve been led astray
Too far-gone, too far to turn back
I cannot change the way you are

Cheers
Raise the glass high, dive right in
I’ll drink to all times you misguided me
I am so done with saving you from yourself
Cheers
Raise the glass high, dive right in
I’ll drink to all times you misguided me
I am fucking done, so take care and good night
