The Waypoint

Everyone pointed at me
Agreed I was to blame
And for the sake of time, I'll say that’s true
I'd gotten rather carried away
I'd fought until the cows came home
And for the sake of time
I’ll say that wasn't the brightest thing I could do

The careless leader fell
And all the pawns gave in
Now all I hear is talk of treason and untruth
-That's what I've gathered
My people, you're spineless and weak
And not a single one of you matters
The veil, the mask, the crown
The cape, the costume will consume

In came the tribe and out went the sun
-Never alone
When everyone—everyone is just like you
Said no to life and said yes to fear
-Never alone
They're a part of you

So does it mean I'm a seraph
In a different sense of the word?
Does evil still wants to kiss the ring?
Sorry I let you down
Now go and tell the crowd that I'm a piece of shit
And I’m a waste of a human
But when you go to bed
I know you’ll still believe
You'll put a finger to your lips and relive the scene
I couldn’t do no wrong
I couldn't do it
You've got nothing else

In came the tribe and out went the sun
-Never alone
When everyone—everyone is just like you
Said no to life and said yes to fear
-Never alone
They're a part of you

So you were acrid
And you were fuming
‘Cause I let you down
Your loyalty and your allegiance
Had been sucked right out
But I was passive
And I was tolerant
And I bit my tongue
I could’ve killed you
I could've raped you
But I do no wrong
