If you're under the impression I'm alright.



I guess you never noticed.



I guess you might have known



I've been holding this together for so long.



But I guess you might have noticed.



Well I guess you...

The beast within the burden is all mine



A product of his father, a slave to his pride.



I feel I need to reveal my true stripes,



But the bitch of all this trouble here



Waits behind the wind to find out.

You set me up to leave me,



You wanted to feel,



Shallow love, shallow lives.



With every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.



Wanted from me... Yeah

I'm sinking more and more into my lies.



Now home is just a pinprick in the vastness of my life.



Feel the pressure, feel the pleasure,



Feel the pain, you're not alone.



Feel the pleasure, feel the pain,



Feel the pain.

You set me up to leave me,



You wanted to feel,



Shallow love, shallow lives.



With every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.



Wanted from me... Yeah

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was.



You change directions everytime someone judges us.



In moderation, what was once us now never was.



You change directions everytime someone judges us.

Shallow love, shallow lives.
