The eyes of a realist can not be blinded Crossing paths with the motives behind them If memory serves you all discarded me You're not my friend so don't pretend to be The smell of vomit invades my dreams A reminder of what I'll always be One who stands alone in the fight Keeping victory in my sights Trade my one ideal for a loss of faith Memories again erased So let's line the way to happiness And drown the pain Look to this if nothing else I'll remain the devil's advocate As a child life died in front of me 20 years and still left with nothing So what could you take from me? With nothing to lose there's no grieving In my eyes the world is a waste of life You're all made of sh**, not worth my time A victim of sorrow all these years A victim of all those I hate One failure after another The time has come to vindicate Trade my one ideal for a loss of faith Memories again erased So let's line the way to happiness And drown the pain Look to this if nothing else I'll remain the devil's advocate
