[Verse 1]
I'm winning, you're losing
I'm falling, your agony
Lower than lower, before
Your forgotten memory
[Pre-Chorus]
My heaven, your hell
I'm killing your fantasy
More and more, you follow
Your deepest reality
[Chorus]
You're trying to take me
You're trying to make me
This is the only
Give me the only thing
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of lying
The only thing I understand is what I feel
[Verse 2]
Identity, fantasy
Heresy, killing me
Lower than lower, before
This thing to feed
[Pre-Chorus]
Hypocrite, lunatic
Fanatic, heretic
More and more, you follow
Your deepest reality
[Chorus]
You're trying to take me
You're trying to make me
This is the only
Give me the only thing
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of lying
The only thing I understand is what I feel
[Bridge]
Hypocrite, lunatic, fanatic, heretic
Hypocrite, lunatic, fanatic, heretic
Hypocrite, lunatic, fanatic, heretic
Hypocrite, lunatic, fanatic, heretic
[Chorus]
You're trying to take me
You're trying to make me
This is the only
Give me the only thing
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of lying
The only thing I understand is what I feel
You're trying to take me
You're trying to make me
This is the only
Give me the only thing
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of lying
The only thing I understand is what I feel
