Lyrics
You said you needed water So I built the house on sand But when it sank into the ocean The blood was on my hands You left me in a limbo A catch 22 Saving my own life Made me the murderer of you
But I know I can't claim it as just self-defense Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence Because who's guilty is besides the point It has to be me I have to be
Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer Oh I have to be
The villain of the movie Just a victim of the times You dress me up and use me To fit the story you designed Oh, I yearned for your approval 'Til I didn't recognize me either Two tickets for a funeral when you Blow up the hand that feeds ya
Oh, I can't claim it as just self-defense Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence Because who's guilty is besides the point It has to be me I have to be
Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer Oh, I have to be Your destroyer
