I want you all to know

The way I feel inside

The emptiness, the nothing that's beneath all of my lies

And now I'm looking through manipulating eyes

I create my own universe just to get by



The price you pay

To gain control

To feel the flames

To lose your soul



(Chorus)

And if only everyone would change

And if only you would just see things my way

And if only you would just get with my plan

Things would not get out of hand

And if only...



I lift myself above

This ordinary life

Reality is left out on a limb to rot and die

And now I'm sifting through

The truth that I despise

The me you know is sheltered by the wool over your eyes



The price you pay

To gain control

To feel the flames

To lose your soul



(Chorus)

And if only everyone would change

And if only you would just see things my way

And if only you would just get with my plan

Things would not get out of hand

And if only, yeah



The price you pay

To gain control

To feel the flames

To lose your soul

The price you pay

To gain control

To feel the flames

To lose your soul



(Chorus)

And if only everyone would change

And if only you would just see things my way

And if only you would just get with my plan

Things would not get out of hand...

And if only everyone would change

And if only you would just see things my way

And if only you would just get with my plan

Things would not get out of hand

If only...
