lyrics

With every step you take, it all becomes so clear
The labyrinth can only lead to something you would dread
With every lie you breathe, there's a truth you couldn't hear
So keep quiet in the corner, and wait for the world to end

Is there really anything about
Everything you are,
Anything but hollow laughter
That's begging to be mocked?

No, no, no, you never could be worthy of their love
No, no, no, you made up your perfect little world
No, no, no, you never will be worthy of their love
No, no, no, you're self-absorbed, you're nothing but a joke

You take every flower still alive and
You draw smiles on their face
And every time you watch one die,
You bury it in blinded hate

With everything you taint, it all becomes so clear
The labyrinth can only lead to something you would dread
Everything you've ever done follows you to the end
Everyone you've ever hurt is waiting for your death

You're nothing, you're nothing, you never could be loved
Now the whole world knows you're broken and numb
You're worthless, you're selfish, you're so fucking pathetic
And it took you so long to realize what you've done

You're full of sin and you're full of shame
And you know no one else can take the blame
You know you can never look them in the face
A good-for-nothing coward with the perfect fate

No, no, no, the only ones who dare to give you love
Oh, no, no, no, the prison of your perfect little world
No, no, no, you'll take this poison-dripping love
In the balloon garden, you'll forget that you're a joke

In the balloon garden, you'll forget that you were loved
