lyrics

Verse 1:
The ball and chain around myself
Around this idol of you
Sticks and stones will break them bones
These words will never suit you
The crown I wear upon my head
It cuts them scares that never fade
Royalty, made of lies
This is all that we made

Verse 2:
You said that I was your type
Of game that you could play
You said that I was your kind
Of bet you couldn't lose

Verse 2b:
King of, nothing
For a, season
Being, undone
For no, reason

Chorus
These darkened skies light up my eyes
The better to see behind your white lies
Hide the truth from your sight
Try to live the lie one more night

Bridge:
You are my kind of treason
The kind that's done without reason
You are my kind of torture
I wonder when it's over
You are my kind of mistake
The one I learn for my sake
You are my kind of grave
Shallow and I can't be saved

(And I can't be saved)

Bridge 2:
You are my kind of treason
You are my kind of torture
You are my kind of mistake
You are my kind of grave

You're not my kind of life
You're not my kind of end
You're not my source of pain
You're not my end of game

Chorus

(I don't know if I told you)

Bridge 3:
You're not my kind of treason
You're not my kind of torture
You're not my kind of mistake
You're not my kind of grave

You're not my kind of life
You're not my kind of end
You're not my kind of pain
You're not my end of game

(Good Riddance)
